SDGT1204PD AH330 — Tungaloy indexable milling insert, PVD‑coated carbide, 12 mm square

The SDGT1204PD AH330 is a square indexable insert for milling, engineered for use in Tungaloy milling systems where a sharp cutting edge and reliable process security are required.

• PVD-coated carbide AH330 for wear resistance
• Square 12 mm size, 90° cutting angle
• Zero corner radius for sharp shoulder milling
• Cylindrical hole with one-sided countersink

Stable performance for productive milling

The AH330 grade, a PVD‑coated carbide composition, delivers improved wear resistance and reduced chipping in interrupted cuts. This results in longer tool life and fewer tool changes, which supports higher machine utilisation and lower overall operating cost per component. The square configuration with a 90° included angle and a zero corner radius provides a defined cutting edge that is particularly effective for face and shoulder milling where accurate corner transitions and repeatable dimensions are required.

Secure clamping and precise geometry match

A secure mechanical interface is essential: the insert features a cylindrical hole with a one‑sided countersink (40°–60°) for stable clamping and repeatable seat location. The plate thickness of 4.76 mm and 12 mm plate size combine with the 15° relief to balance rigidity and cutting clearance, reducing vibration and improving surface finish. Correct pairing of insert seat, geometry and cutter body ensures consistent cutting forces and predictable tool life in production settings.

Efficient chip control and process security

The single-sided chipbreaker is designed to promote stable chip formation and controlled evacuation across common milling operations. Combined with the AH330 grade's resistance to wear and edge fracture, the insert supports process security under variable cutting conditions. This stability benefits high‑feed, contour and slot milling where sudden changes in engagement or material condition may otherwise cause premature edge failure.

System integration and practical application guidance

The insert forms part of a complete milling system comprising the cutter body, insert, clamping screw and, where applicable, a shim. Compatibility with Tungaloy milling systems is essential: insert seat, geometry and the milling body must match technically to achieve the stated performance. Typical applications include face, shoulder, slot, high‑feed and contour milling, subject to selection of the correct tool family and cutting data. Metav Werkzeuge can provide guidance on selecting the right cutter body and clamping arrangement for specific production goals.

FAQ

What cutting operations are suitable for this insert?
The SDGT1204PD AH330 insert is intended for face, shoulder, slot, high‑feed and contour milling when used in the appropriate Tungaloy milling body and tool family.

Is the AH330 grade suitable for interrupted cuts?
Yes, the AH330 PVD‑coated carbide grade is developed to resist wear and edge fracture, making it appropriate for interrupted cutting where a sharp edge and process security are required.

How does the zero corner radius affect the machined component?
A zero corner radius produces a sharp corner on the machined feature, improving dimensional definition for shoulders and steps while necessitating correct cutting parameters to avoid edge overload.

What clamping arrangement is required for reliable performance?
Reliable performance requires the correct match between the insert seat, geometry and cutter body; the cylindrical hole with a one‑sided countersink on the insert ensures stable clamp engagement when paired with the manufacturer‑specified clamping screw.

Can this insert be used across different tool families?
The insert can be applied across various milling operations, but the exact tool family must be compatible; plattensitz, geometry and the milling body must be technically matched to guarantee the stated results.
