SNMU 120608 AH3135 SNMU insert for milling by Tungaloy — DoFeed, double‑sided chipbreaker

The SNMU120608 AH3135 is a PVD‑coated carbide indexable insert for high‑feed milling, optimised for pocketing and face milling with small axial depths to deliver high material removal rates.

• High‑feed DoFeed geometry
• PVD‑coated AH3135 carbide grade
• Double‑sided chipbreaker for stability
• Square insert, 90° angle, r0.8

Productive high‑feed design for higher throughput

The DoFeed family is engineered to permit large time‑based chip volumes at very small axial depths, which raises the productive throughput of milling cycles. The insert’s geometry focuses on controlled chip formation and consistent cutting forces so that machining of pockets and planes proceeds with fewer tool changes. By choosing an insert from the DoFeed series, workshops gain a measurable improvement in metal removal rate while maintaining process predictability, making the tool particularly suited to production environments where cycle time and repeatability are decisive. The combination of geometry and secure clamping reduces vibration and supports stable cutting.

Durable PVD‑coated grade for edge integrity and process security

The PVD‑coated AH3135 grade is formulated to resist wear and chipping under the alternating loads of milling, providing a sharp cutting edge together with reliable performance. A PVD coating enhances surface hardness and thermal resistance at the cutting edge, which contributes to longer edge life and improved surface finish over time. For operations that demand both a keen edge and consistent process behaviour, this grade reduces unexpected edge breakouts and maintains dimensional accuracy across series production. The result is reduced tool consumption and fewer interruptions in machining.

Secure geometry and practical mounting for reliable handling

A square plate with a 90° cutting angle and a 0.8 mm corner radius balances strength and finishing capability: the radius gives edge robustness for roughing while still permitting acceptable surface quality for semi‑finishing. The insert features a cylindrical hole with double‑sided countersink (40°–60°) to ensure firm clamping and precise seat location in the cutter body. Double‑sided chipbreakers aid chip control on both cutting edges, enabling the use of the insert on multiple edges and simplifying inventory management. The standard plate thickness and size support straightforward tool set‑up and replacement in compatible milling bodies.

Application focus and handling notes for production use

Designed specifically for milling, the insert is especially effective in high‑feed pocketing and face operations where small axial depths are preferred and high feed per tooth is possible. The system consists of the cutter body, matching indexable plates and screws, enabling a modular approach to tool assembly. Operators should match the insert geometry and grade to the machining parameters and cutter body to exploit the DoFeed advantages fully. When set up correctly, the insert offers a favourable compromise between aggressive material removal and controlled surface integrity.
