RDMT1606ZD AH120 indexable insert for milling — Tungaloy

RDMT1606ZD AH120 is an indexable insert designed for Tungaloy milling systems, engineered to deliver wear-resistant cutting edges and reliable chip control across a wide range of milling operations.

PVD-coated AH120 for durable edges
One-sided chipbreaker for controlled chips
Round 16 mm plate, 6.35 mm thick
Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink

Outstanding wear resistance that keeps production running

The AH120 grade is a PVD-coated carbide specifically formulated for wear and breakage resistance during milling. Its coating reduces flank and crater wear while preserving a sharp cutting line, which leads to longer effective tool life and fewer interruptions for insert changes. For production-oriented shops, this translates into improved machine utilisation and steadier cycle times, because the cutting edge sustains performance over repeated operations.

Secure seating and consistent clamping for repeatable results

The insert is produced with a round form and a cylindrical hole plus a single-sided countersink (40°–60°) to match Tungaloy cutter bodies precisely. This combination ensures correct seating and reduced radial runout, contributing to repeatable dimensional accuracy and surface finish. The geometry requirement—that the insert seat, geometry and cutter body are technically compatible—means a matched system reduces vibration and supports predictable tool life.

Versatile use across common milling operations

Designed for general milling tasks, the insert covers planing, shoulder, groove, high‑feed and contour milling depending on the assigned tool family. The one-sided chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation in interrupted and continuous cuts, and the 15° relief angle supports sharp engagement with the workpiece. With a nominal plate diameter of 16 mm and a thickness of 6.35 mm, the insert is suited to robust cutter bodies where secure clamping and edge strength are required.

FAQ

Is the RDMT1606ZD AH120 compatible with all Tungaloy cutter bodies?
Compatibility depends on the cutter body seat and geometry; the RDMT1606ZD AH120 is intended for use where the insert seat, geometry and cutter body are technically matched, ensuring proper clamping and performance.

What benefits does the AH120 coating provide?
The AH120 PVD coating on this indexable insert improves wear resistance and edge strength, supporting longer tool life and consistent cutting behaviour under typical milling conditions.

Which milling operations suit this insert best?
The insert is suitable for planing, shoulder, groove, high‑feed and contour milling when paired with the appropriate Tungaloy cutter family and setup.

How does the one-sided chipbreaker affect chip control?
The one-sided chipbreaker on this insert promotes controlled chip formation for reliable evacuation and improved surface finish in both continuous and interrupted cuts.
