RDMW 1606ZD AH120 indexable insert for milling by Tungaloy — PVD-coated carbide, round Ø16

RDMW 1606ZD AH120 is a PVD-coated carbide indexable insert designed for productive milling applications where a sharp cutting edge and process security are required

• PVD-coated carbide AH120 grade
• Sharp cutting edge and process security
• Round Ø16 mm with 6.35 mm thickness
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink

High productivity through wear-resistant cutting geometry

The PVD-coated carbide composition of this indexable insert offers notable wear resistance, which translates into longer tool life and fewer interruptions for change‑over. The AH120 grade is formulated for stable chip formation and resistance to edge breakage, so the cutting edge remains sharp across many cuts. For operations demanding consistent surface quality and reduced rework, such material and coating choices contribute directly to improved productivity and lower per‑part machining costs.

Secure seating and repeatable process results

The insert’s round form and central cylindrical hole with a one‑sided countersink (40°–60°) ensure a defined clamping interface in compatible cutter bodies. Correct matching of the insert seat, geometry and milling body is essential for repeatability; the insert is intended for use only in systems that accept this geometry. The design promotes reliable seating under cutting forces and helps maintain the sharp cutting edge position, reducing vibration and improving dimensional stability on workpieces.

Suited to a wide range of milling operations and materials

This cutting grade is suitable for face, shoulder, slot, high‑feed and contour milling, depending on the associated tool family. The AH120 grade is optimised for situations where a sharp edge and process security are required rather than aggressive chipbreaking. As a result, the insert is particularly beneficial for general milling tasks that prioritise surface finish and tool life. When paired with the correct milling body, the insert supports consistent results across a broad material spectrum commonly encountered in machining.

Practical handling, installation and economic benefits

With a thickness of 6.35 mm and a nominal size of Ø16 mm, the insert offers straightforward handling and installation when the cutter body and clamping hardware are matched. The absence of an integrated chipbreaker simplifies geometry and is advantageous where specific cutting strategies control chip flow externally. Fewer tool changes, combined with the material properties of the AH120 grade, contribute to reduced downtime and predictable maintenance intervals, supporting overall shop‑floor efficiency and cost effectiveness.
