SNMU 1706AN T3225 – square indexable insert for milling by Tungaloy (17 mm, 6.35 mm)

The SNMU 1706AN T3225 is a square indexable insert developed for milling applications such as face, shoulder, slot, high-feed and contour milling, requiring matching insert seat, geometry and cutter body.

• Tungaloy T3225 grade for wear resistance
• Square insert 17 mm, 6.35 mm thickness
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° double countersink
• Double-sided chipbreaker for consistent chips

Reliable wear resistance for longer tool life

The combination of the T3225 grade and cemented carbide substrate provides a balance of wear resistance and toughness that translates directly into longer in‑service life and fewer tool changes. In practical terms, the engineered grade reduces flank and crater wear under typical milling loads while maintaining edge stability, which helps to keep tolerances and surface finish consistent over extended runs. This is particularly advantageous in production environments where tool changes disrupt cycle time and increase indirect costs.

Secure mounting and consistent chip control

A secure clamp and precise seating are essential in milling; the insert's cylindrical hole with a double‑sided countersink (40°–60°) ensures stable clamping and accurate axial positioning in compatible cutter bodies. The double-sided chipbreaker manages swarf formation for predictable chip flow, lowering the risk of recutting and improving evacuation in pocketed or deep features. The 6.35 mm thickness contributes to bending stiffness and reduces vibration, supporting higher metal removal rates with dependable process stability.

Broad application scope with predictable results

Designed for a wide range of milling tasks, from planing to contouring, this square insert supports both conventional and high‑feed strategies when paired with a matching tool body. The geometry yields multiple indexable cutting edges, enabling efficient corner reversal and cost-effective use of the insert's working life. In practice, using certified inserts such as this one improves throughput, reduces variability between batches and delivers more predictable tool consumption for production planning.

Practical handling and system compatibility

Square geometry and a 90° included angle make the insert suitable for shoulder and face milling where an orthogonal tool approach is required; the 0° relief and 0 mm corner radius should be considered when selecting cutting parameters and workpiece materials. It is important that the insert seat, geometry and milling body are technically matched to ensure correct clamping and thermal behaviour. For users less familiar with system matching, Metav Werkzeuge offers technical guidance to confirm compatibility and recommend optimal feeds and speeds for the chosen material.

FAQ

Which materials are suitable for this insert?
The SNMU 1706AN T3225 insert by Tungaloy is formulated for versatile milling tasks; the cemented carbide grade offers a broad coverage of materials — from general steels to alloyed materials — with good wear resistance and edge stability.

How does the T3225 grade affect machining performance?
Tungaloy’s T3225 grade provides a blend of hardness and toughness that reduces wear while maintaining cutting-edge stability, so the SNMU 1706AN T3225 supports longer tool life and consistent surface finishes in serial milling operations.

How to ensure the insert fits the cutter body correctly?
Correct fit requires the insert seat, geometry and cutter body to be technically matched; the SNMU 1706AN features a cylindrical hole with a 40°–60° double countersink, so check the cutter’s mounting specification for compatibility before assembly.

How many cutting edges are available per insert?
As a square indexable insert, the SNMU 1706AN normally provides multiple usable edges that can be indexed to extend service life; exact edge count depends on the chosen corner radius and seating method.

What clamping features should be observed during installation?
Use the appropriate clamping screw and torque for the cutter system, ensure the insert sits flat in the pocket and that the countersink aligns with the screw head to achieve secure, repeatable positioning.
