SDMW 120408 UX30 indexable milling insert by Tungaloy — square insert for precision milling

SDMW120408 UX30 is an indexable insert for milling applications, developed for low cutting forces and consistent chip formation where compatibility with the matching milling body is required.

Sharp cutting edge for low cutting forces
Square insert, 12 mm size, 0.8 mm corner radius
Uncoated carbide grade UX30 for good chip formation
Cylindrical hole with single-side countersink (40°–60°)

Increased process efficiency through low cutting forces and reliable chip formation

A grade engineered for low cutting forces reduces spindle load and enables stable machining of a wide range of materials during milling. The uncoated carbide UX30 provides a sharp cutting edge that promotes predictable chip flow and reduces the tendency to build up material on the cutting edge. When paired with the correct milling body, this geometry supports higher feed rates in finishing and semi-finishing operations while maintaining surface quality. The benefit is a measurable improvement in cycle time and repeatability for production runs.

Clear mechanical interface and geometry for straightforward integration

The insert is supplied in a square form with a 0.8 mm corner radius, a standard 12 mm size and a 4.76 mm thickness, all of which ensure mechanical stability in the clamped assembly. The insert features a cylindrical hole with a single-side countersink (40°–60°) for positive seating and secure clamping; the 15° clearance angle and 90° cutting angle match many common milling body designs. These defined geometric parameters make it straightforward to check compatibility: the seating, geometry and milling body must match technically to realise the full performance potential.

Practical use and material suitability for everyday milling

Designed for general milling tasks, the insert is suitable for plan, shoulder, slot, high-feed and contour milling depending on the assigned tool family. The uncoated carbide composition favours operations where controlled chip formation and low cutting forces are priorities rather than extreme abrasion resistance. Typical applications include machining softer steels, castings and mixed batches where predictable chip flow and low cutting energy help reduce tool wear and machine stress. For more demanding abrasion conditions a coated grade may be preferable, but this grade balances economical performance and easy chip control.

FAQ

What operations is this insert intended for?
The SDMW120408 UX30 indexable insert is intended for plan, shoulder, slot, high-feed and contour milling depending on the assigned milling body and tool family.

How does the UX30 grade affect performance?
The UX30 uncoated carbide provides a sharp cutting edge and promotes good chip formation, which helps to reduce cutting forces and supports stable milling cycles.

Which geometric details ensure proper clamping and seating?
The square form, 12 mm size, 0.8 mm corner radius and the cylindrical hole with single-side countersink ensure secure seating and reliable clamping when the milling body is technically compatible with the insert.

Is this insert suitable for heavy-duty, abrasive conditions?
The SDMW120408 UX30 is optimised for low cutting forces and controlled chip flow; for highly abrasive operations, a coated or a wear-resistant grade may be more appropriate.
