RDMT1606ZD AH330 RDMT milling insert by Tungaloy — PVD carbide, Ø16, 15° clearance

RDMT1606ZD is a round indexable insert for milling, developed for stable cutting performance in Tungaloy milling systems and suitable for plan, shoulder, slot, high-feed and contour milling depending on the cutter family

• PVD-coated carbide AH330 for wear resistance
• Round insert Ø16 with 6.35 mm thickness
• 15° clearance angle for a sharp cutting edge
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° one-sided countersink

Proven wear resistance that keeps production moving

The AH330 PVD coating on a carbide substrate provides a balance of wear resistance and edge stability that reduces the frequency of insert changes and helps maintain consistent surface finish over longer runs. This grade is formulated to resist chipping under interrupted cuts and to preserve a sharp cutting edge where process security is required. By limiting flank wear and maintaining edge form, the grade contributes to predictable tool life and smoother planning of maintenance cycles, which supports higher machine utilisation and lower overall machining costs.

Mechanical fit and geometry for repeatable clamping

A secure mechanical interface is essential for consistent results. The round Ø16 geometry combined with a 6.35 mm thickness, a 15° clearance angle and a cylindrical mounting hole with a one-sided countersink (40°–60°) ensures reliable seating in compatible cutters. The single-sided chipbreaker helps control chip flow on the active cutting edge, reducing built-up edge and improving evacuation in interrupted or heavy cuts. These features reduce vibration and repetitive positional variance, delivering repeatable component tolerances and fewer scrap parts.

Versatility across milling operations with system-matched performance

Designed for a broad range of milling operations — planing, shoulder, slotting, high-feed and contouring — the insert offers flexibility when paired with the appropriate cutter body. The RDMT1606ZD AH330 Tungaloy insert is intended for use within Tungaloy milling systems; insert seat, geometry and cutter body must match to achieve the specified performance. When the system match is ensured, the combination yields improved surface quality and stable cutting behaviour, enabling efficient transition between roughing and finishing strategies with minimal compromise.

Selection guidance and practical handling for reliable results

Selection should focus on matching the insert grade and geometry to the workpiece demands and the cutter body design. The carbide substrate with PVD AH330 coating is suited to operations where a sharp edge and resistance to fracture are priorities. For best results, confirm cutter compatibility and adhere to recommended speeds and feeds for the chosen material and operation type. Proper storage and gentle handling of indexable inserts preserve the cutting edge and coating integrity, while regular inspection of the seat and clamp reduces the risk of mislocation and uneven wear.
