SCMT 09T308 T505 indexable insert for milling – Tungaloy

The SCMT 09T308 T505 is a square indexable insert designed for milling applications, optimised for cast‑iron machining within Tungaloy milling systems.

• Square insert, 09 size, 90° cutting edge
• CVD‑coated T505 grade for cast iron
• Corner radius 0.8 mm for robust edge life
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink

High‑efficiency cast‑iron machining with predictable results

The CVD‑coated T505 grade, applied to a cemented carbide substrate, is selected for the economical machining of cast iron, emphasising stable chip formation and process reliability. The coating improves resistance to abrasion and thermal loading, so cutting parameters can be set for productive material removal without frequent index changes. As a result, cycle times stabilise and tool change intervals extend, supporting continuous production runs where reproducible output matters.

Secure clamping and system compatibility for consistent accuracy

Designed for use in Tungaloy milling systems, the insert features a cylindrical hole with a one‑sided countersink (40°–60°) to ensure positive seating and repeatable clamping force. Correct seat geometry and a matching clamp screw are essential; the insert must be mounted in a compatible cutter body to achieve the specified cutting geometry and maintain concentricity. This mechanical compatibility reduces vibration and improves surface finish during shoulder and contour milling operations.

Robust cutting edge and chip control for longer service life

With a corner radius of 0.8 mm and a dedicated chipbreaker 23, the geometry balances edge strength and chip evacuation for interrupted or stable cuts. The 90° main cutting edge and a plate thickness of 3.97 mm contribute to rigidity at the cutting zone, reducing the risk of edge chipping under moderate interruptions. The square form provides four usable edges per indexable insert, supporting economical edge utilisation and straightforward re‑indexing during maintenance.

Practical benefits that support process stability and economy

This insert is optimised for planing, shoulder, slotting, high‑feed and contour milling depending on the assigned tool family, allowing one insert type to cover multiple machining tasks. The combination of coating, carbide substrate and geometry supports an efficient balance between tool life and productivity, making the component suitable for production environments requiring consistent part quality. Where doubts about compatibility or process setup arise, technical consultation helps to align insert selection with machine capability and workpiece requirements.
