• Sharp cutting edge reduces chipping risk
• Rectangular 04 format, 5.56 mm thickness

Achieve higher productivity with stable high‑feed performance

The DoFeed family is designed to maximise machining throughput by enabling large material removal rates at small axial depths. The rectangular 04 format and the 90° geometry make the insert particularly effective for pocketing and face milling, where controlled chip flow and consistent engagement are essential. As a PVD‑coated carbide grade, this insert supports elevated cutting parameters while maintaining dimensional stability. Operators benefit from a reduced number of passes and shorter cycle times, which directly supports improved machine utilisation and throughput in repetitive production tasks.

Extended tool life and reliable process security from AH3225

The AH3225 grade combines wear and chipping resistance with a sharp, stable cutting edge to sustain accurate results under demanding intermittent cutting conditions. The PVD coating enhances surface hardness and thermal resistance, lowering flank wear and delaying edge break‑out. For practical purposes, this means fewer tool changes, more predictable maintenance intervals and a measurable improvement in overall component quality. The insert’s composition and geometry are optimised to maintain a balance between edge strength and cutting efficiency, making it suitable where process security and repeatability are paramount.

System compatibility and application guidance for machining planners

The insert is supplied as part of a system comprising the milling body, matching indexable inserts and fastening screws, allowing straightforward integration into existing toolholders designed for the DoFeed family. The rectangular plate form with a 5.56 mm thickness and special hole style ensures secure clamping and positive seating for heavy material engagement. The special chipbreaker and the sharp edge are tailored to support stable chip control during pocket and face milling operations. For planners, the combination of geometry and material properties translates into consistent surface finish and reduced scrap rates across a wide range of steels and common production alloys.
