SDMT 1204PD T3130 milling insert — Tungaloy square indexable insert for milling

A SDMT 1204PD T3130 is an indexable milling insert engineered for face, shoulder, slot, high-feed and contour milling within Tungaloy milling systems.

• T3130 grade for balanced wear resistance
• Square 12 mm insert, 4.76 mm thickness
• 15° relief angle for stable cutting
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink

Reliable performance for productive milling

The combination of the T3130 cutting grade and carbide substrate delivers a dependable balance between wear resistance and toughness, making the insert well suited to industrial milling cycles. The chosen grade supports a stable cutting edge, which reduces unexpected edge chipping and keeps tool change intervals predictable. This leads to higher machine uptime and improved process economics by lowering scrap risk and spreading tooling cost over longer production runs.

Secure clamping and consistent positioning

The insert is designed for secure mounting with a cylindrical hole and a one-sided countersink (40°–60°), working together with the clamp screw and backing pad to guarantee repeatable seating. The 15° relief angle reduces flank contact during entry and exit, decreasing heat buildup at the cutting edge and enhancing dimensional stability. Clear mechanical compatibility between insert seat, geometry and cutter body is essential for safe operation; this insert is intended for use in matching Tungaloy milling tool bodies.

Practical dimensions that ease tooling decisions

A compact 12 mm square form with a 4.76 mm thickness and zero corner radius provides a precise cutting corner for form-critical features and tight shoulder work. The single-sided chipbreaker assists chip control on common milling strategies, contributing to a cleaner swarf flow and a more consistent surface finish. These measured characteristics simplify tool selection for routine milling tasks while enabling higher material removal rates where the tool family permits.

Proven choice for system-level process stability

When process reliability and consistent results are priorities, this Tungaloy solution supports a systematic approach to milling: matched insert geometry, suitable carbide grade and robust clamping minimise variability in production. The SDMT 1204PD T3130 insert is specified where repeatable edge life and manageable chip formation are required, offering a pragmatic balance of performance and economy for industrial workshops and production lines.

FAQ

What milling operations suit this insert best?
The SDMT 1204PD T3130 is intended for face, shoulder, slot, high-feed and contour milling within compatible Tungaloy tool families.

Is the insert compatible with non-Tungaloy cutter bodies?
Compatibility depends on seat geometry and clamping method; the SDMT 1204PD T3130 requires a matching seat and clamp system for secure mounting.

Which workpiece materials benefit most from the T3130 grade?
The T3130 cutting grade provides a balanced combination of wear resistance and toughness, making it suitable for a wide range of general milling tasks where predictable edge life is required.

How does the hole and countersink improve performance?
The cylindrical hole with a 40°–60° countersink ensures repeatable seating and stable clamping, reducing micro-movements that can shorten insert life.

Can the zero corner radius achieve good surface quality?
Yes — the zero corner radius yields a defined cutting edge for sharp shoulder and contour features, and, together with the single-sided chipbreaker, supports consistent surface finish.
