APMT 120408 AH120 Milling Insert (APMT) — Parallelogram, PVD-coated carbide — Tungaloy

APMT120408 AH120 is an indexable parallelogram insert designed for versatile milling tasks such as face, shoulder, slot and contour milling

• PVD-coated AH120 for process security
• 0.8 mm corner radius for accurate profiling
• Parallelogram form for flexible tool engagement
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink for stable clamping

Consistent chip control for reliable cycle times

The PVD-coated AH120 grade is a wear- and fracture-resistant carbide designed to deliver process stability during a wide range of milling operations. Its one-sided chipbreaker promotes predictable chip formation, which reduces the risk of chatter and minimizes interruption for manual chip removal. For production environments where repeatability matters, the combined effect of the coating and chip geometry leads to more consistent cycle times and fewer scrap parts.

Secure clamping and geometry that reduces setup time

A parallelogram plate form with a cylindrical hole and single-sided countersink (40°–60°) provides a secure mechanical interface with the milling body and clamp screw; this design supports accurate seat positioning and reduces micro-movements under load. The insert’s 0.8 mm corner radius helps preserve a sharp cutting edge for profiling while maintaining edge strength for shoulder and slot operations, which shortens changeover and adjustment routines on the machine.

Broad application range and predictable tool life

Optimised for milling, this indexable plate is suitable for face, shoulder and contour milling as well as high-feed and slot operations depending on the tool family used. The carbide substrate combined with the AH120 coating yields a balance of toughness and wear resistance that maintains surface finish quality across mixed batches of materials. The predictable wear behaviour supports reliable tool-life planning and reduces unplanned downtime in series production.
