SNHU 1706AN AH120 indexable insert for milling by Tungaloy — high-feed geometry, PVD-coated carbide

The SNHU1706AN AH120 Tungaloy indexable insert is a square, PVD-coated carbide insert designed for high-feed milling applications, combining a sharp cutting edge with process-stable performance for pocketing and face milling.

• High-feed geometry for increased material removal
• PVD-coated AH120 for wear and chipping resistance
• Square 17 mm format with secure hole mounting
• Double-sided chipbreaker for stable cutting

Faster material removal with the DoFeed concept

The DoFeed family is engineered for large material removal volumes at small axial depths, translating into shorter cycle times and higher throughput on modern milling centres. The high-feed design allows lateral engagement with reduced axial immersion, so more metal is removed per pass while maintaining surface quality. For production environments seeking consistent machining rates, this geometry offers a direct efficiency gain and supports predictable tool life through controlled load distribution.

Durable cutting edge and consistent process security

The AH120 grade is a PVD-coated carbide formulation developed to resist wear and minimise edge chipping under interrupted cuts and elevated temperatures. This results in fewer unplanned tool changes and steadier component tolerances during prolonged runs. The coating and substrate combination supports a sharp cutting edge that preserves finish quality even when machining demanding pocketing or face-milling operations, providing a measurable reduction in scrap and rework.

Secure seating and reliable clamping for repeatable results

The square insert design with a cylindrical hole and a double-sided countersink (40°–60°) provides stable positioning in the cutter body and straightforward indexability. With a 6.35 mm thickness and 17 mm size, the insert seats firmly and resists tilting under machining forces, while the double-sided chipbreaker helps control swarf formation and evacuation. These mechanical details reduce the risk of misalignment, so process repeatability and workpiece accuracy are improved across batch production.

Easy system integration and application versatility

The insert is supplied as part of a system comprising the milling body, matching indexable inserts and clamping screws, enabling quick retrofits and minimal setup time. Typical uses include high-feed milling, pocket machining and face milling where high metal removal rates and surface quality are both required. For questions about fitment in a specific cutter or recommended cutting data, Metav Werkzeuge’s application specialists can provide tailored guidance to match the insert to the machine, material and cycle requirements.
