SNMG150616 AH120 — ISO turning insert, PVD-coated carbide, 90° square by Tungaloy

The SNMG150616 AH120 turning insert is designed for external and internal turning, offering a sharp cutting edge and process-secure performance for ISO-compatible holders.

• ISO 90° square geometry
• PVD-coated carbide grade AH120
• Double-sided chipbreaker
• Cylindrical hole for secure clamping

Stable cutting and consistent process security

The insert delivers stable cutting through a combination of a sharp edge and a PVD coating, which reduces flank wear and protects the substrate. The carbide substrate provides rigidity and heat resistance, so the component stays dimensionally accurate during longer cycles. By choosing a grade engineered for wear and fracture resistance, manufacturers gain improved first-pass quality and fewer interrupted cycles, which directly supports productivity targets and reduces scrap rates.

Clear compatibility and secure clamping for easy integration

ISO standardisation simplifies tool selection: the square 90° geometry and the cylindrical hole match typical ISO holders when form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixation method, size and thickness align. The insert’s 6.35 mm thickness and 15 mm size provide predictable seating height and stable clamping; the cylindrical hole ensures repeatable locating and torque transmission. This clarity in mounting reduces set-up time and contributes to reproducible processing conditions on production lathes.

Coating and grade explained for reliable tool life

The AH120 designation identifies a PVD-coated carbide designed to resist wear and chipping under turning loads. PVD (physical vapour deposition) produces a thin, adherent layer that lowers friction and delays adhesion of built-up edge, especially in interrupted cuts. With a 1.6 mm corner radius, the insert balances edge strength and surface finish capability, enabling economical machining of a wide range of steels and alloyed materials while maintaining good surface integrity.

Operational benefits for workshop productivity

A double-sided chipbreaker provides two usable cutting edges per indexation, cutting tooling costs and downtime. The 90° square form is versatile for both facing and profile turning tasks, improving tool change flexibility. Overall, this insert supports shorter cycle times and predictable tool-change intervals, which helps planning and reduces unscheduled stoppages. For practical workflows, compatibility with common ISO holders and the robust grade selection promote stable, repeatable performance in series production.
