SNMG 120408 AH6235 turning insert — PVD-coated carbide for stainless steel, by Tungaloy

A Tungaloy SNMG120408 AH6235 indexable insert for turning, engineered for interrupted cuts and demanding stainless steel applications.

• PVD-coated carbide grade AH6235
• For stainless steel and interrupted cuts
• Double-sided chipbreaker, square form
• 0.8 mm corner radius, 0° clearance

Consistent cutting performance under interrupted conditions

The PVD-coated AH6235 grade provides a tough carbide construction designed to resist chipping when machining stainless steel and other demanding alloys. The coating reduces adhesive wear and improves heat resistance at the cutting edge, which translates into longer edge life and fewer interruptions for index changes. This combination of substrate and coating delivers measurable production stability for turning applications where material adhesion and edge breakage are a concern.

Geometry that secures repeatable surface quality

A square ISO insert with a nominal size of 12 mm and a plate thickness of 4.76 mm offers a rigid cutting interface; the 0.8 mm corner radius contributes to robust edge strength while maintaining surface finish. The insert’s 0° clearance angle and 90° included angle ensure predictable cutting engagement, and the cylindrical locating hole supports accurate seating and repeatable positioning in compatible holders. The ISO-conform geometry simplifies tool selection and reduces setup variability on the shop floor.

Economic productivity and easy integration into turning systems

The double-sided chipbreaker provides multiple indexed cutting edges, lowering cost per edge and increasing uptime. Compatibility with the holder is determined by form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; this insert integrates into common ISO turning systems for both external and internal turning. By choosing the appropriate chipbreaker and grade for the workpiece and machining stability, the insert helps to reduce scrap and cycle times while supporting consistent results.
