SCMT120408 AH6235 – Tungaloy milling insert for rostfreier Stahl, 12 mm, 0.8 mm radius

The SCMT120408 AH6235 is a PVD-coated carbide indexable insert designed for Tungaloy milling systems, optimised for rostfreier Stahl and interrupted cutting where chipping risk is increased

• PVD-coated carbide grade AH6235
• Optimised for rostfreier Stahl & interrupted cuts
• Square 12 mm insert with 0.8 mm corner radius
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink

High productivity for rostfreier Stahl and interrupted machining

The selected AH6235 grade is a PVD-coated, tougher carbide formulation developed to resist fracture in interrupted cuts and to handle the work-hardening tendency of rostfreier Stahl. This composition supports a more stable cutting edge, which translates into longer tool life and fewer indexings during production runs. The 0.8 mm corner radius increases edge robustness for shoulder and face milling, while the square geometry contributes to repeatable performance across multiple stations.

Secure clamping and system compatibility for consistent results

Designed for use with matching Tungaloy milling bodies, the insert requires correct seat geometry and toolbody compatibility to deliver the stated performance. The cylindrical hole + one-sided countersink (40°–60°) provides reliable screw clamping and consistent seating; the 4.76 mm plate thickness and 7° clearance reduce the risk of rubbing and improve rigidity under load. The insert’s 90° cutting angle makes it well suited to shoulder operations and applications where positive axial engagement is required.

Reduced downtime and improved shop-floor efficiency

A one-sided chipbreaker simplifies chip control and evacuation during face, shoulder, slot, high-feed and contour milling when paired with the appropriate cutter body from the same system family. Fewer edge failures and predictable wear progression lower setup frequency and tool change interruptions, contributing to a steadier production flow. Specification consistency — from size 12 mm to clamping style — helps standardise tool inventories and speeds up replenishment cycles for manufacturing operations.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The insert in grade AH6235 is formulated for machining rostfreier Stahl and is particularly effective in interrupted cutting conditions where increased fracture resistance is required.

How does the 0.8 mm corner radius affect performance?
A 0.8 mm corner radius improves edge strength for shoulder and face milling, reducing the likelihood of chipping compared with finer radii while maintaining acceptable surface finish.

Is the insert compatible with all Tungaloy milling bodies?
The insert fits Tungaloy milling systems that match the seat geometry and clamping design; the plattensitz, geometry and cutter body must be technically compatible for secure clamping and optimal results.
