SNMG150612 AH120 — Tungaloy indexable insert for turning, PVD‑coated carbide, 1.2 mm radius

SNMG150612 AH120 is an ISO‑format indexable insert engineered for external and internal turning, combining a sharp cutting edge with high process security for consistent production results.

• PVD-coated carbide AH120
• Wear- and fracture-resistant grade
• ISO‑standard SNMG 150612 format
• Double-sided chipbreaker, 90° square

Reliable performance for precision turning

The PVD‑coated carbide grade AH120 is specified for turning operations where a sharp cutting edge and stable machining are required. The combination of a thin, hard coating and a robust substrate reduces abrasive wear and helps maintain edge geometry under load; this translates into longer tool life and fewer index changes, which supports uninterrupted production. For customers seeking consistent part quality, the coated carbide delivers improved surface finish and predictable dimensional stability while remaining compatible with standard turning regimes.

Designed for secure clamping and straightforward compatibility

The insert follows the ISO SNMG 150612 format and therefore mates with common SNMG holders; mechanical compatibility is governed by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixation, size and thickness. Key geometric data — 15 mm inscribed circle, 6.35 mm thickness, 1.2 mm corner radius, 0° clearance angle and 90° included angle — define how the insert seats, the effective cutting radius and the contact stresses at the clamp. The insert is supplied "with hole" and a cylindrical hole accommodates standard screws and clamping systems; a full system typically comprises the ISO insert, a matched external holder or boring bar, a shim/clamp set and replacement screws to ensure repeatable seating and rigidity.

Application scope and machining guidance

Intended for both external and internal turning, the double‑sided chipbreaker geometry gives two usable cutting edges per side and a stable chip control suited to a range of workpiece materials. Select the chipbreaker type and the AH120 grade in line with the workpiece material, machining method and machine stability to balance productivity and edge life. Because the grade is described as wear‑ and fracture‑resistant, it is particularly suitable where intermittent cuts or variable engagement occur and a reliable cutting edge is essential to avoid edge chipping. For less experienced operators, the standard ISO format simplifies spare part management and reduces set‑up time in mixed fleets.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for? The SNMG150612 AH120 turning insert (Tungaloy, SKU 6811975-Tungaloy) is specified for general turning applications; the AH120 grade is wear‑ and fracture‑resistant and should be selected according to workpiece material and machining conditions.

How many usable edges does the insert provide? The SNMG150612 is a double‑sided indexable insert, offering multiple cutting edges per index to increase usable life before replacement.

Which holders fit this insert? Holders compatible with the ISO SNMG 150612 format and matching clearance, size and tolerance class are suitable; mounting requires a matched clamp or shim and the standard screw for the cylindrical hole.

What is the corner radius and how does it affect the cut? The insert has a 1.2 mm corner radius, which influences the cutting profile and edge strength — a larger radius typically improves edge robustness and surface finish at the cost of higher cutting forces.
