SCMT120408 T6215 — Square milling insert for Fräsen (milling)

SCMT120408 T6215 Tungaloy-Wendeplatte is a square indexable insert designed for a range of milling operations, offering robust chip control and wear-resistant performance for stable to lightly interrupted cutting conditions.

• CVD-coated carbide grade T6215
• Square insert with 90° cutting angle
• Corner radius 0.8 mm for edge strength
• Central hole with countersink for secure clamping

Consistent, wear-resistant performance for steel and stainless steels

The CVD-coated carbide composition in this insert is formulated to withstand abrasive wear encountered when machining a wide range of steels, especially stainless steel grades. The coating reduces flank wear and maintains cutting-edge integrity over longer cycles, which lowers the frequency of insert changes and contributes to predictable process times. As a result, production runs become more efficient and tool-related downtime is reduced.

Geometry and clamping that ensure repeatable accuracy

The square insert geometry with a 90° cutting angle and a corner radius of 0.8 mm provides a balance between edge strength and chip formation control. The insert is supplied with a central hole and a cylindrical hole plus one-sided countersink (40°–60°), ensuring secure mechanical fixation in compatible milling bodies. Note that insert seat, geometry and milling body must match technically to guarantee correct seating and repeatable clamping—this is essential for maintaining dimensional accuracy during face, shoulder and contour milling.

Optimised chip control and process reliability

Equipped with a one-sided chipbreaker, the insert channels chips reliably away from the cutting zone, improving surface finish and reducing the risk of built-up edge. The chip management combined with the T6215 grade supports stable to slightly interrupted cuts and helps maintain a consistent surface quality across workpieces. The result is fewer scrapped parts and a smoother workflow on CNC milling centres.

Flexible application across common milling tasks

The insert is suitable for a variety of milling tasks including face milling, shoulder milling, slotting, high-feed and contour milling, depending on the selected tool family and cutter body. With a plate thickness of 4.76 mm and an insert size designation of 12, the insert integrates into Tungaloy milling systems that accept SCMT-style plates, enabling fast changeovers and modular tool setups. Where higher stability is required, choose appropriate cutter bodies and clamping hardware to match the insert’s design.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The SCMT120408 T6215 insert (Tungaloy indexable insert, SKU 6903103-Tungaloy) is optimised for steels and stainless steel machining under stable to lightly interrupted conditions.

Is the insert compatible with all SCMT tool bodies?
Compatibility requires matching the insert seat, geometry and cutter body; the SCMT120408 form fits Tungaloy milling systems that accept SCMT-style plates when the clamping and seat geometry correspond.

Can this insert be used for interrupted cuts?
The T6215 grade supports stable to lightly interrupted cutting; for heavy interruptions, select a geometry and machine setup designed for higher shock resistance.

How does the chipbreaker affect surface finish?
The one-sided chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation, which helps achieve a consistent surface finish and reduces the risk of built-up edge during milling.

What is the purpose of the countersunk hole?
The cylindrical hole with a one-sided countersink (40°–60°) provides reliable mechanical fixation with the correct clamping screw and seat, improving repeatability and positional stability.
