DCMT 070208 AH6235 turning insert — Tungaloy, 55°

DCMT070208 AH6235 is an ISO rhombic indexable insert intended for external and internal turning, optimised for applications with elevated breakout risk and interrupted cuts.

• DCMT070208 ISO rhombic indexable insert
• PVD-coated carbide AH6235 for stainless steels
• 0.8 mm corner radius and 55° approach angle
• Cylindrical hole with single-side countersink

Reliable cutting performance for demanding turning

The PVD-coated carbide grade AH6235 delivers a balance of toughness and wear resistance that is beneficial when machining materials prone to work-hardening. The combination of a 0.8 mm corner radius and the 55° approach angle reduces the likelihood of edge chipping while allowing for consistent surface finish on both roughing and finish passes. The coating improves thermal stability and reduces built-up edge formation; in practice, this means fewer unexpected interruptions to production and a more predictable tool life, which supports a smoother machining cycle and improved throughput.

Compatibility and secure clamping for production use

Constructed as an ISO-compliant rhombic insert, this indexable solution features a cylindrical hole with a one-sided countersink (40°–60°) and a plate thickness of 2.38 mm, ensuring secure seat and repeatable clamping in compatible holders. The specified 7° relief angle and standard DCMT geometry index easily into common turning toolholders when form, tolerance class, and thickness match; this reduces setup time and the risk of improper seating. Using an insert with consistent mechanical interfaces supports stable cutting conditions and lowers scrap rates in volume production.

Material suitability and chip control explained

The grade is tailored for machining stainless steels and challenging interrupted cuts: the tougher substrate resists notch-induced failures and the single-sided chipbreaker promotes controllable chip formation for many turning operations. For users less familiar with indexable insert terminology, a chipbreaker is a small feature on the rake face that shapes chips for safe evacuation; a single-sided design favours specific feed and depth ranges but provides repeatable results across a wide range of stainless and alloyed steels. Choosing this insert and pairing it with an appropriate holder and cutting parameters helps to maintain surface integrity and extend service intervals.

FAQ

What cutting tasks is this insert suited for?
The DCMT070208 AH6235 insert is intended for turning tasks, especially where interrupted cuts or elevated breakout risk occur; the AH6235 grade is formulated for stainless steels and similar alloys.

How is the insert clamped and located in a holder?
Clamping relies on the cylindrical hole with a one-sided countersink; the 2.38 mm plate thickness and ISO geometry ensure correct seating when the holder matches the insert form and tolerance class.

Can this insert be used for finishing passes?
Yes, the combination of a 0.8 mm corner radius and PVD-coated AH6235 offers a balance between toughness and finish capability, making it suitable for light finishing as well as robust turning.

Is this insert indexable and how many cutting edges are available?
The rhombic ISO insert is indexable; each indexable insert can be rotated to present fresh cutting edges until all usable edges are consumed, subject to the specific seat and orientation in the chosen holder.

What distinguishes the AH6235 grade from standard grades?
AH6235 is a tougher PVD-coated carbide grade designed to resist chipping during interrupted cuts and to handle tough-to-machine materials such as stainless steels while preserving edge life.
