SNHU 1706AN AH140 Tungaloy indexable insert for milling

SNHU1706AN AH140 Tungaloy indexable insert engineered for high‑feed milling, pocketing and face milling with small axial depths

• DoFeed high‑feed family
• PVD‑coated carbide AH140
• Square insert, 17 mm edge
• Double‑sided chipbreaker, with hole

Exceptional productivity for shallow‑axial milling

The DoFeed design delivers efficient chip volume removal while limiting axial engagement, making the insert ideal for high‑feed operations and pocket machining. The combination of a PVD‑coated AH140 carbide grade and a sharp cutting edge enables stable cutting performance and a predictable tool life, which reduces tool change frequency and supports continuous production. This approach focuses on maximising volume removal per unit time without increasing axial depth, improving throughput in component machining.

Reliable edge life and process stability

The insert’s AH140 grade is formulated for resistance to wear and chipping under interrupted and continuous cuts. The PVD coating enhances flank and crater resistance, so the insert sustains its geometry longer under typical milling stresses. For operations where process reliability is critical, this geometry and coating combination helps maintain dimensional consistency and surface finish over extended runs, lowering rework rates and supporting stable cycle times.

Design details that aid clamping and chip control

The square form and the cylindrical hole with double‑sided countersink (40°–60°) support secure seating and repeatable indexing. The double‑sided chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation across a range of feeds, reducing the risk of jammed chips in pocketing or face milling. A 6.35 mm plate thickness and the 17 mm edge length provide robust support for cutting forces, while the 90° insert angle suits a wide variety of face and pocketing operations on modern milling bodies.

Application guidance and system compatibility

This insert is part of a system comprising the milling body, matching indexable inserts and fastening screws; the set‑up supports fast insert changes and straightforward inventory management. Typical uses include high‑feed milling, pocket machining and planing operations where small axial depths are required but high time‑material volumes are sought. For materials that demand a sharp edge and consistent chip control, the combination of grade and geometry gives a balanced solution between performance and tool life.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The SNHU1706AN AH140 insert from Tungaloy is designed primarily for general milling tasks where a sharp edge and wear resistance are required; the AH140 grade provides broad material capability for typical machining jobs.

Is the insert reversible or indexable on both sides?
Yes, the square geometry with a double‑sided chipbreaker allows indexing to a fresh cutting edge; the SNHU1706AN AH140 indexable insert can be rotated as designed to use multiple cutting edges.

What are the key design advantages of the DoFeed series?
DoFeed inserts focus on high‑feed performance with small axial engagement, enabling larger time‑material removal while keeping cutting depth low, which the SNHU1706AN AH140 supports through its geometry and coating.

Which mounting features assist clamping repeatability?
The cylindrical hole with a double‑sided countersink (40°–60°) and standardised dimensions ensure secure seating and repeatable positioning in the corresponding milling body.
