SNMU 1706AN AH120 — Tungaloy milling indexable insert for general milling

The SNMU 1706AN AH120 is a square, PVD-coated carbide indexable insert conceived for milling tasks such as face, shoulder, slot, high-feed and contour operations within compatible Tungaloy milling systems.

• PVD-coated carbide grade AH120 for wear resistance
• Square 90° insert, 17 mm size, 6.35 mm thickness
• Central hole with cylindrical bore and countersink
• Double-sided chipbreaker for reliable chip control

Reliable cutting performance that extends tool life

The PVD-coated AH120 grade combines a tough substrate with a wear-resistant surface layer, delivering process security under demanding cutting conditions. The PVD-coated finish sustains a sharp cutting edge for longer intervals, which reduces edge deterioration and lowers the frequency of index changes. As a result, machining runs remain predictable and tool life is enhanced, promoting economical production and fewer unplanned stoppages.

System compatibility for safe clamping and accurate geometry

Designed as part of Tungaloy milling systems, this square insert requires a matching insert seat and cutter body for correct function; the central cylindrical hole with double-sided countersink (40°–60°) provides secure, concentric clamping and reliable seating under load. The 90° geometry and 17 mm size together with the 6.35 mm thickness ensure a compact yet robust cutting edge suited to a range of cutter families, helping to maintain repeatable cutting conditions and stable tool runout.

Better chip control and improved surface quality

The double-sided chipbreaker is engineered to produce controlled chip segmentation and evacuation, which lowers heat concentration at the cutting zone and reduces the risk of edge chipping. Improved chip control directly supports a finer surface finish and fewer secondary operations, especially in mixed-operation setups such as face and contour milling. For applications that demand a sharp edge and consistent results, the chip geometry contributes to steady cutting forces and reduced workpiece rejections.

Production advantages from simplified handling and robust design

A square, double-sided insert provides two usable cutting edges per index, easing inventory management and increasing effective edge count per insert. The combination of the AH120 grade and robust design supports process reliability and reduced downtime, since fewer index changes and consistent edge behaviour translate into less operator intervention. In short, the insert is a practical choice where efficient, repeatable milling and straightforward logistics are priorities.

FAQ

Is this insert compatible with existing Tungaloy milling bodies?
Compatibility requires matching the insert seat, geometry and cutter family; the SNMU 1706AN AH120 is intended for use in Tungaloy milling systems that accept square 17 mm, 6.35 mm thick indexable inserts.

Which machining tasks suit this grade best?
The AH120 grade on the SNMU 1706AN AH120 excels where a sharp cutting edge and process security are required, for example in face, shoulder and high-feed milling operations.

What benefit does the double-sided chipbreaker provide?
The double-sided chipbreaker on this Tungaloy indexable insert improves chip segmentation and evacuation, which reduces heat at the cutting edge and helps achieve a more consistent surface finish.

How does the insert clamping work?
Clamping relies on the central cylindrical hole combined with the double-sided countersink (40°–60°) to ensure secure axial and radial seating, supporting stable cutting under varying loads.
