SNHU 1706AN AH725 Tungaloy milling insert — high‑feed DoFeed family

The SNHU 1706AN AH725 is a square, indexable milling insert designed for high‑feed milling, pocketing and face machining with small axial depths and high time‑chip volumes.

• High‑feed design for large time‑chip volumes
• PVD‑coated AH725 grade for Stahl and rostfreier Stahl
• Double‑sided chipbreaker and cylindrical hole
• Compatible with DoFeed high‑feed milling system

Increased material removal with controlled axial cut for faster cycle times

The DoFeed series is engineered for high‑feed milling, where productivity depends on high feed per tooth at low axial depths. The SNHU insert’s geometry gives a large effective cutting width while keeping axial engagement shallow, which reduces cutting forces and enables higher table feed rates. The result is a measurable increase in throughput when machining pockets or wide face passes. The combination of the high‑feed geometry and an appropriate milling body ensures consistent chip load and shorter cycle times for production batches.

Universal, break‑resistant grade for mixed material workflows

The AH725 is a PVD‑coated carbide grade developed for broad applicability across Stahl and rostfreier Stahl. Its fracture‑resistant matrix maintains edge integrity under interrupted cuts and variable workpiece materials, which makes tool management simpler in mixed‑material shops. The PVD coating improves wear resistance and reduces built‑up edge, helping to sustain dimensional accuracy and surface finish over longer tool life—valuable where process security is a priority.

Practical geometry and secure clamping for reliable machining

Designed as a square insert with a 0.00 mm corner radius, the SNHU offers sharp profile control for precise pocket and face features. The plate measures 17 mm with a thickness of 6.35 mm and features a cylindrical hole with double‑sided countersink (40°–60°) to fit standard DoFeed clamping systems; the tool angle is 90°. The double‑sided chipbreaker provides two usable cutting edges per side, improving economy and reducing index time. Such technical details translate into predictable tool change intervals and straightforward inventory handling.

System compatibility and application support for process reliability

The SNHU insert is supplied as part of the DoFeed system build: milling body, matching indexable inserts and fastening screws. This system approach simplifies selection and guarantees mechanical fit and performance consistency across toolholders. For shops aiming to raise productivity without increasing process variability, the solution offers a clear balance of robustness, surface quality, and ease of integration into existing milling operations. If uncertain about selection for a specific workpiece or cycle, application guidance is readily available.

FAQ

What machining tasks suit this insert best?
The SNHU 1706AN AH725 is intended for high‑feed milling, pocketing and face machining where large time‑chip volumes are required at small axial depths; it performs well on Stahl and rostfreier Stahl.

Is the AH725 grade suitable for stainless steels?
Yes, the AH725 PVD‑coated carbide grade is formulated for universal use and fracture resistance, making it appropriate for rust‑resistant alloys such as rostfreier Stahl as well as general Stahl.

How many cutting edges are available per insert?
The square SNHU insert is double‑sided with a chipbreaker on each side, providing multiple indexable cutting edges to extend in‑service life and economy.

Which system elements are needed to mount this insert?
The SNHU insert is part of the DoFeed system and requires a compatible DoFeed milling body plus the matching screws for secure clamping and optimal performance.

What does a corner radius of 0 mean for finish and strength?
A corner radius of 0 gives a sharp cutting corner for accurate profile reproduction; while it helps with detail, tool life and strength depend on feed and depth settings as well as material properties.
