SNEN SNEN12T2ZT UX30 — Tungaloy indexable insert for milling, uncoated carbide, 90° square

The SNEN SNEN12T2ZT UX30 is a square indexable insert intended for a wide range of milling tasks; designed for face, shoulder, slot, high‑feed and contour milling when paired with matching Tungaloy cutters.

• Tungaloy uncoated UX30 grade
• Sharp cutting edge for low cutting forces
• Square 12 mm plate, 90° geometry
• Compatible with Tungaloy milling systems

Improved productivity through low cutting forces and reliable chip formation

The combination of the UX30 grade and an uncoated carbide substrate offers a decisive advantage where low cutting forces and consistent chip formation are required. The geometry provides a sharp cutting edge, which reduces cutting resistance and can extend tool life in applications where material removal rates are moderate. In practice, this means reduced spindle load and the potential for higher feed rates in stable setups, lowering cycle times while maintaining dimensional accuracy. For users seeking a balance between performance and cost efficiency, the design delivers straightforward, repeatable results in a production environment.

Robust design and system compatibility for predictable machining

A square 12 mm plate with 90° geometry and a relief angle of 0° ensures positive seating and stable clamping in Tungaloy milling bodies. The plate’s indexable insert format simplifies reconditioning: when one cutting edge dulls, the plate can be rotated to present a fresh edge, minimising downtime. Absence of a central hole and lack of a chipbreaker indicate a straightforward clamping requirement and a geometry optimised for low cutting forces rather than aggressive chip splitting. Such a configuration supports predictable tool behaviour across a variety of steels and common workshop alloys when matched to the appropriate cutter body.

Application guidance and process considerations for milling operations

Intended for general milling, the insert is suitable for face, shoulder, slot, high‑feed and contour milling within the constraints of the associated tool family; the uncoated carbide grade performs well in operations prioritising surface quality and chip control under moderate cutting speeds. When integrating the plate into a toolset, ensure plateseat, geometry and cutter body are technically compatible with the Tungaloy system. For optimum results, select feeds and speeds according to material and machine stability; the plate’s combination of grade and geometry supports steady performance in batch production and jobbing alike. Technical enquiries are handled by Metav Werkzeuge, whose team can advise on selection and machining parameters.

FAQ

What is the primary benefit of the UX30 grade?
The UX30 grade provides a sharp uncoated carbide edge that promotes consistent chip formation and lower cutting forces, improving productivity with stable cutting parameters.

Is the insert suitable for high‑feed applications?
The plate is listed for high‑feed milling among other operations; suitability depends on the associated cutter family and machine stability when using the SNEN12T2ZT insert.

Does the insert include a chipbreaker or central hole?
This indexable plate is supplied without a chipbreaker and without a central hole, which requires a compatible clamping arrangement on the milling body.

Which materials can be machined with this insert?
The insert’s uncoated carbide and sharp geometry are intended for a broad range of milling tasks; selection of feeds and speeds should be adapted to the workpiece material and process requirements.

How is the insert mounted and indexed?
The square plate installs in a matching Tungaloy cutter seat and is indexed by rotating to present a fresh cutting edge; correct seating and screw torque are essential for secure clamping.
