SNMU 120608 AH120 indexable insert for high-feed milling by Tungaloy

A SNMU120608 AH120 indexable insert engineered for high-feed milling, pocketing and face machining within the DoFeed family

• PVD-coated AH120 carbide grade
• For high-feed milling and pocketing
• Square 12 mm plate, 6.35 mm thick
• Cylindrical hole with double countersink

Maximise removal rates with small axial cuts

The DoFeed concept is designed to deliver large time‑span volumes while keeping the axial depth of cut low. This insert benefits from a square geometry and a 90° seating angle, enabling very high feed per tooth without increasing axial load. The combination of a low axial immersion and increased feed produces a larger volumetric removal rate per pass, which improves throughput on pocketing and planing operations. The design reduces tool engagement stress and helps maintain stable machining conditions for long production runs.

Prolonged edge life and process security

The AH120 grade is a PVD-coated carbide developed for resistance to wear and chipping under interrupted and continuous cutting conditions. Its formulation provides a sharp cutting edge that retains geometry under high demands, which supports consistent surface quality and repeatable cycle times. The coating reduces abrasive wear and improves thermal resistance, making the insert suitable where a reliable cutting edge and process security are required rather than frequent regrinding or replacement.

Reliable clamping and predictable indexing

A precise locating hole — a cylindrical bore with double-sided countersink (40°–60°) — ensures secure seating in the cutter body and repeatable positioning of cutting edges. The double-sided chipbreaker allows indexing of the insert to present a fresh edge without changing plate geometry, while the square form provides multiple usable corners. Overall system behaviour is improved when the insert is used with the matching DoFeed milling body and fastening screws, reducing downtime during tool changes and simplifying inventory management.

Clear selection for common milling tasks

Specify this insert where high-feed strategies are preferred: pocketing, face machining and high-volume finishing operations. The SNMU120608 AH120 variant offers a 0.8 mm corner radius for a balance between edge strength and surface definition, and a plate thickness of 6.35 mm for stable clamping. When combined with DoFeed cutters and appropriate machining parameters, the result is a productive, process-secure solution that supports consistent part quality and predictable tool life — an asset for batch and continuous production alike.

FAQ

What operations is this insert designed for?
The insert is intended for high-feed milling operations, particularly pocketing and face machining as part of the DoFeed family.

How is the insert secured in the cutter body?
The SNMU120608 AH120 insert uses a cylindrical hole with a double-sided countersink (40°–60°) to ensure accurate seating and secure fastening with the appropriate screws.

Is the insert reversible or single-sided?
The plate features a double-sided chipbreaker and is indexable, allowing use of multiple cutting edges before replacement; this supports continuous production with minimal tool change downtime.

Which benefits does the AH120 grade provide?
The AH120 grade is a wear- and fracture-resistant PVD-coated carbide designed to keep a sharp edge and ensure process security under demanding milling conditions.
