DCMT 11T312 AH6235 turning insert – ISO DCMT indexable insert by Tungaloy

A DCMT11T312 AH6235 indexable turning insert designed for external and internal turning, optimised for stainless steel and interrupted cutting conditions

• PVD-coated carbide AH6235 for stainless steel
• Rhombic DCMT shape with 55° cutting angle
• 1.2 mm corner radius for enhanced edge strength
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink

Reliable cuts in stainless steel with a tougher grade

The PVD-coated carbide AH6235 is formulated as a tougher grade to cope with the demands of machining stainless steel and interrupted cutting. The combination of the PVD coating and a resilient substrate reduces the risk of chipping under unstable cutting conditions, delivering longer effective tool life and fewer unplanned tool changes. For production environments where occasional interruptions or variable feeds are common, this approach reduces scrap and increases process uptime.

Stable geometry for consistent surface quality and clamping

The rhombic DCMT geometry with a 55° main cutting angle and a 1.2 mm corner radius provides a balance between edge strength and surface finish. The plate thickness of 3.97 mm and the 7° relief angle contribute to rigidity in the cutting zone, while the cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink ensures reliable clamping and repeatable seating in compatible holders. Compatibility depends on form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness, so select the matching holder and fixings to secure stable, reproducible results.

System approach for efficient chip control and uptime

As an ISO-standard turning insert, this plate integrates into a system comprising the indexable insert, a suitable external holder or boring bar, backing/clamping set and replacement screws. The one-sided chipbreaker is tuned for moderate chip control in common turning operations; when paired with the tougher AH6235 grade it reduces edge deterioration in stop-start cuts and improves chip evacuation. The result is more reliable cycle times and predictable maintenance intervals, supporting higher productivity in component machining.
