SCMT 120408 AH6235 – Indexable milling insert for milling applications by Tungaloy

The SCMT120408 AH6235 is an indexable milling insert designed for Tungaloy milling systems, offering reliable performance in shoulder, face, slot and high-feed milling where insert seat, geometry and cutter body must match technically

• PVD-coated cemented carbide AH6235 for stainless applications
• 0.8 mm corner radius for precise shoulder milling
• Square 12 mm insert with 90° cutting angle
• Cylindrical hole + one-sided countersink for secure clamping

Improved cutting stability for demanding stainless applications

The PVD-coated carbide AH6235 grade delivers enhanced toughness for machining rostfreier Stahl and other difficult-to-cut alloys. Thanks to the tougher substrate and the PVD layer, the insert sustains intermittent cuts and operations with a higher risk of edge breakout, reducing unexpected tool changes. This results in a measurable improvement in process reliability and more consistent cycle times when performing planing, shoulder and contour milling.

Accurate geometry that supports repeatable results

With a 12 mm size and 4.76 mm plate thickness, the square insert presents a true 90° cutting angle and a 0.8 mm corner radius, giving a stable contact zone and defined engagement for shoulder milling and slot entry. The single-sided chipbreaker simplifies chip flow management and is optimised for the insert’s geometry, which helps achieve predictable tool life and consistent surface finish without complex parameter adjustments.

Secure mounting and system compatibility for reduced setup time

The insert includes a cylindrical hole with a one-sided countersink (40°–60°) to ensure positive seat location and secure clamping in compatible Tungaloy cutter bodies. When seat, geometry and cutter body match, assembly is straightforward and repeatable, minimising indexing time and the chance of seating errors. This physical compatibility supports efficient tool changeovers and keeps spindle downtime to a minimum.

Application focus and selection guidance

Designed primarily for milling, the insert is suitable for face, shoulder, slot, high-feed and contour milling operations depending on the assigned cutter family. The grade’s combination of toughness and PVD protection makes it particularly appropriate for interrupted cuts and components prone to edge chipping, providing a pragmatic balance between wear resistance and fracture resistance for production environments.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for machining stainless steel?
The SCMT120408 AH6235 Tungaloy indexable insert is formulated as a tougher PVD-coated carbide grade specifically intended for rostfreier Stahl and applications with interrupted cuts.

What cutter bodies are compatible with this insert?
Compatibility requires a matching Tungaloy milling body where the insert seat, geometry and cutter body conform technically to the SCMT120408 form and the system’s specifications.

How does the AH6235 grade affect tool life?
The AH6235 grade balances fracture resistance and wear behaviour; the PVD coating improves surface hardness while the tougher substrate reduces premature edge chipping, typically extending usable tool life in demanding stainless applications.
