RDMT 1606ZD AH130 Tungaloy indexable insert for milling — PVD‑coated carbide, cored with countersink

RDMT1606ZD AH130 is an indexable insert developed for reliable face, shoulder and contour milling within Tungaloy milling systems, offering a wear‑resistant grade for secure, repeatable machining.

• PVD‑coated carbide, grade AH130
• 15° clearance angle for stable cutting
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink
• Round 16 mm insert, 6.35 mm thickness

Stable performance for productive milling cycles

The RDMT1606ZD AH130 insert is engineered to deliver predictable metal removal thanks to its PVD‑coated carbide body and the AH130 grade. The PVD coating enhances wear resistance and helps maintain a sharp cutting edge under interrupted cuts, while the substrate carbide provides toughness against chipping. For operations such as face milling, shoulder milling and high‑feed passes, this combination reduces tool changes and supports higher material removal rates. The described design yields a favourable cost‑per‑part in medium to high‑volume production.

Secure seating and reliable clamping reduce downtime

A central design focus is clamping stability: the insert has a cylindrical hole with a single‑side countersink (40°–60°) which centres the insert and prevents lateral play during heavy engagement. The 15° clearance angle improves chip evacuation and reduces rubbing on the flank, maintaining surface finish quality. Together, these features shorten set‑up time and limit the need for rework, increasing process uptime and reproducibility on compatible Tungaloy tool bodies.

Practical adaptability across common milling tasks

The round 16 mm size and 6.35 mm thickness offer a compact geometry that suits a range of cutter families while still providing sufficient edge strength for interrupted cuts. The one‑sided chipbreaker supports controlled chip formation for many aluminium and steel machining tasks, improving surface integrity and machine tool cleanliness. The insert’s round shape also benefits corner‑engaging and profiling passes where constant cutting edge contact is required.

Why the AH130 grade matters in production

The AH130 grade is formulated for a balance of wear resistance and edge toughness, making it appropriate where a sharp cutting edge and process security are both required. In practice, this means reduced micro‑chipping, extended edge life in mixed batch runs and steadier dimensional outcomes. For workshops seeking consistent results across varied workpiece materials, the AH130 grade helps lower variance in tool life and contributes to predictable planning of maintenance intervals.

FAQ

What milling operations suit this insert?
The RDMT1606ZD AH130 indexable insert is suitable for face‑, shoulder‑ and contour milling within compatible Tungaloy milling systems, providing stable cutting across interrupted and continuous passes.

Which materials can be machined with this grade?
The AH130 grade on this Tungaloy insert performs well on a broad range of materials where a sharp edge and process security are required; typical applications include general steel and alloy machining under medium cutting conditions.

How does the insert’s hole and countersink benefit clamping?
The cylindrical hole combined with a 40°–60° single‑side countersink centres the insert and reduces lateral movement, ensuring secure clamping and consistent positioning during machining with the RDMT1606ZD.

Is this insert compatible with standard Tungaloy milling bodies?
Compatibility requires matching insert seat, geometry and cutter family; the RDMT1606ZD AH130 is designed for Tungaloy milling systems and should be used with bodies specified for RDMT‑style round inserts
