SNHU 1706AN AH120 high-feed milling insert — Tungaloy

A SNHU1706AN AH120 indexable insert for high-feed milling, optimised for pocketing and face milling where large chip volumes must be removed with small axial depths.

• DoFeed high-feed geometry for large chip loads
• PVD-coated AH120 carbide for wear resistance
• Square, 17 mm insert with 6.35 mm thickness
• Double-sided chipbreaker and centred hole design

Faster metal removal with predictable cutting forces

The DoFeed high-feed geometry delivers large time-chip volumes at low axial engagement, a combination that increases the effective metal removal rate without provoking excessive cutting forces. The insert geometry spreads the load across the cutting edge so that material is removed efficiently during pocketing and planing tasks, shortening cycle times and improving throughput. This design is particularly suited to operations that demand stable feed rates and repeatable results in series production.

Durable edge life thanks to PVD AH120 carbide

The PVD-coated AH120 substrate is a wear- and chipping-resistant carbide grade developed for milling applications that require a sharp cutting edge and process security. The coating increases surface hardness and reduces adhesion of built-up edge, which helps to maintain surface finish consistency and extend index intervals. In practice, this means fewer interruptions for tool changes and a more predictable tool-life profile when machining challenging batches.

Robust geometry and secure clamping for reliable indexing

The insert is square with a nominal size of 17 mm and a plate thickness of 6.35 mm, providing a stable seating and robust cutting edges. A central cylindrical hole with double countersink (40°–60°) facilitates reliable clamping in compatible milling bodies, while the double-sided chipbreaker enables economical indexing and reuse of both faces. The 90° orientation supports conventional milling set-ups and simplifies toolpath planning in CAM systems.

System compatibility and application focus for process stability

Delivered as part of a system comprising milling body, matching indexable plates and fixing screws, this insert supports a productive high-feed milling strategy for pocketing and face operations. The combination of proven edge technology and a standardised clamping hole reduces set-up variation and supports reproducible quality in serial machining. As an original Tungaloy component, the insert contributes to a process-oriented tool solution for manufacturers aiming to balance productivity and surface integrity.

FAQ

What operations is this insert best suited to?
The SNHU1706AN AH120 insert is optimised for high-feed milling operations such as pocketing and face milling, where large chip volumes are required at small axial depths.

Which material and coating does the insert use?
The insert is made of carbide with a PVD AH120 coating, selected for wear resistance and process security in milling applications.

How does the insert ensure secure clamping?
A central cylindrical hole with double countersink (40°–60°) provides stable seating in compatible milling bodies, while the square form and 6.35 mm thickness support reliable indexing.

Is the insert economical to use?
The double-sided chipbreaker and re-indexable design reduce tooling costs per edge and allow for multiple edge usages before replacement, improving overall process economy with the SNHU1706AN AH120.

What system components are required for use?
Use in a DoFeed system requires a compatible milling body plus the matching indexable plates and fixing screws; the SNHU1706AN is supplied as the indexable plate component.
