SNMU 1706AN T1215 milling indexable insert for milling operations by Tungaloy

A SNMU1706AN T1215 square indexable insert designed for a broad range of milling tasks where reproducible edge stability and stable chip control are required

• Square 17 mm insert for 90° milling
• Tungaloy T1215 carbide grade for durability
• Double-sided chipbreaker for consistent chip control
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink

High-performance carbide for predictable tool life

The insert is manufactured from carbide in the Tungaloy T1215 grade, a combination that balances wear resistance with edge toughness to extend in-process life. This material choice reduces the frequency of tool changes and helps maintain machining accuracy over longer cycles, which contributes directly to higher throughput and lower overall machining cost. The specification suits demanding milling tasks where cutting-edge stability prevents premature wear and ensures consistent results across batch production.

Secure seating and chip management for uninterrupted machining

Designed with a cylindrical hole and a double-sided countersink (40°–60°), the insert ensures secure clamping and precise positioning in compatible Tungaloy milling bodies. The double-sided chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation, reducing the risk of chip congestion and improving surface integrity. Together, these design elements support uninterrupted cycles and reliable fixture behaviour, which is particularly valuable in automated or high-feed environments where process security is essential.

Versatile application scope with clear process benefits

The geometry and system design make this insert suitable for face, shoulder, slot, high-feed and contour milling depending on the assigned tool family, delivering improved surface finish and consistent dimensional control. Operators benefit from predictable cutting behaviour and shorter set-up times when the insert is paired with matching milling bodies. The square form at a 90° engagement angle is especially effective for shoulder milling and operations requiring robust corner strength.

Practical integration and handling for production use

With a nominal size of 17 mm and a plate thickness of 6.35 mm, the component is compact yet robust; the zero corner radius reduces interference in tight features while the standardised interface simplifies inventory management. Correct seating and matching of the insert to the cutter body are crucial: the seat, geometry and cutter body must be technically compatible to exploit the full potential of the grade and form. Spare parts handling is straightforward and replacement is fast when using the recommended clamping screw and, where applicable, a matching backing pad.
