SNMU 120608 T1215 indexable insert for high-feed milling by Tungaloy — DoFeed series

SNMU 120608 T1215 is a square indexable insert designed for high-feed milling and pocket or face machining in industrial milling applications.

• High-feed milling for large material removal
• T1215 carbide grade for wear resistance
• Double-sided chipbreaker for reliable chip control
• Square 12 mm insert with 0.8 mm corner radius

Greater productivity through high-feed design

The DoFeed family is engineered specifically for high-feed milling, enabling significantly larger time chip volumes while using small axial depths of cut. This geometry optimises metal removal rates without requiring deep cuts, which shortens cycle times in pocketing and face-milling operations. The combination of the insert shape and cutting edge ensures consistent engagement with the workpiece, reducing vibration and improving process reliability.

Balanced performance from the T1215 grade

The T1215 carbide grade delivers a deliberate balance of wear resistance, toughness and cutting-edge stability, which supports productive machining across varied tasks. This blend reduces the frequency of edge changes and helps maintain surface quality during longer runs. For milling tasks where chip flow and tool life matter, the grade supports repeatable outcomes and predictable maintenance intervals.

Practical geometry and secure mounting for workshop use

A square insert with a 12 mm size, 6.35 mm thickness and a 0.8 mm corner radius provides a robust cutting edge while allowing multiple indexings per insert. The insert is supplied with a hole and a cylindrical hole plus double-sided countersink (40°–60°) to fit common milling bodies; the system comprises the milling body, matching indexable inserts and fixing screws, ensuring straightforward integration into existing toolholders. The 90° lead angle suits general-purpose face milling, while the 0° relief angle promotes stable engagement.

Reliable chip control and application suitability

Equipped with a double-sided chipbreaker, the insert promotes predictable chip formation and evacuation during high-feed passes. This reduces the risk of chip entanglement and supports safer, cleaner operation at higher material removal rates. The DoFeed geometry and chip control features are particularly suited to pocket milling and planing operations where maintaining surface integrity and process consistency is essential.
