SDGT 1204AF TH10 – milling insert for Tungaloy systems, uncoated carbide, 15° relief

SDGT 1204AF TH10 is a square indexable insert developed for Tungaloy milling systems, optimised for non‑ferrous materials and machining tasks that demand low cutting forces and clean surface finishes.

• Square 12 mm cutting insert
• Uncoated carbide grade TH10
• 15° clearance angle
• Cylindrical hole with countersink 40°–60°
• Single-sided chipbreaker design

Secure fit and systematic compatibility for milling systems

The insert is designed for use in matched Tungaloy milling systems, where insert seat, geometry and cutter body must be technically compatible to ensure repeatable results. As an indexable insert, it offers quick replacement and consistent positioning, which reduces machine downtime and supports a predictable process flow. Suitability for face, shoulder, slot, high‑feed and contour milling depends on the assigned tool family; consult cutter specifications to confirm mechanical fit and clamping torque requirements.

Material performance that supports low cutting forces and fine finishes

Assigned to the TH10 grade, the uncoated carbide substrate is a sharp universal grade intended primarily for non‑ferrous materials and applications where an uncoated cutting edge reduces friction. The result is low cutting forces and a clean surface finish, which can be particularly beneficial when machining aluminium alloys, brass and plastics. This characteristic also helps to reduce power draw and can extend the effective life of the toolholder under moderate cutting conditions.

Geometry and chip control for stable machining

With a 12 mm format and 4.76 mm thickness, the insert provides structural stability in the cutter body. The 90° included angle combined with a 15° clearance angle creates a robust cutting geometry for square‑shoulder operations, while the cylindrical hole with a single‑sided countersink (40°–60°) ensures secure clamping and precise axial location. The single‑sided chipbreaker promotes consistent chip formation and evacuation, reducing the risk of re-cutting and supporting continuous operation in repetitive production tasks.

Productivity and process advantages for versatile milling tasks

Using a sharp, uncoated carbide grade like this insert can lower cutting forces and help maintain surface quality without the thermal insulation of coatings, which is advantageous in many non‑ferrous applications. The combination of a stable cutting edge, engineered chip control and standardised mechanical interface contributes to productive machining and stable chip formation, supporting predictable cycle times and repeatable part quality. For broader material ranges or more demanding abrasive conditions, consider alternative grades or coated options within the same system family.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for? The SDGT 1204AF TH10 insert is optimised for non‑ferrous materials such as aluminium and brass; the TH10 uncoated carbide grade supports low cutting forces and a clean surface finish.

Is the insert compatible with any milling cutter? Compatibility requires matching of the insert seat and cutter geometry; the SDGT 1204AF TH10 is intended for Tungaloy milling systems where the seat, geometry and cutter body correspond.

What is the hole configuration and why does it matter? The insert features a cylindrical hole with a single‑sided countersink (40°–60°); this ensures precise axial location and secure clamping for repeatable positioning during machining.

Can this insert be used for high‑feed milling? Depending on the assigned tool family, the insert can be applied in high‑feed operations; confirmation of suitability should be made against the cutter body and recommended cutting parameters for the SDGT1204AF TH10.

Which SKU identifies this product for ordering? This article is listed under SKU 6812502‑Tungaloy (manufacturer article number 6812502), which can be referenced when checking availability or specifying the insert for procurement.
