SNMG 120402 AH8015 indexable insert for turning – PVD-coated carbide, 0.2 mm radius (Tungaloy)

The SNMG120402 AH8015 is an ISO-standard, square indexable insert developed for general turning operations, offering a balanced carbide grade for machining heat‑resistant alloys in both external and internal applications.

• SNMG 120402 ISO insert for turning
• PVD-coated carbide grade AH8015
• 0.2 mm corner radius for fine finishing
• Double-sided chipbreaker, with cylindrical hole

Consistent results through balanced grade and coating

The PVD-coated carbide grade AH8015 combines wear resistance with controlled edge stability, making it suitable as a first choice for machining heat‑resistant alloys. The thin, hard PVD layer reduces flank wear and improves tool life under higher temperatures, while the substrate supports shock resistance at interrupted cuts. This results in more predictable tool performance and longer intervals between indexings or insert changes, which increases uptime on production lathes.

Productivity and surface quality from geometry and chip control

A 0.2 mm corner radius provides a reliable compromise between strength and the ability to achieve fine surface finishes in turning. The insert’s double-sided chipbreaker is optimised for chip formation in a range of cutting parameters, reducing the risk of built-up edge and facilitating stable material evacuation. Together, geometry and chip control help maintain process stability, enabling faster cycles without sacrificing finish quality.

Compatibility and easy integration into existing tool systems

The insert conforms to ISO dimensions and features a cylindrical hole for secure fastening, so compatibility with appropriate SNMG holders is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The standardised format simplifies tool selection and replacement in established turning tool systems, avoiding costly downtimes caused by mismatched components while ensuring repeatable clamping and positional accuracy.

Practical benefits for workshop planning and process engineering

Selecting this indexable insert supports economical machining through extended tool life and predictable behaviour when turning demanding alloys. The grade’s balance of properties reduces the need for frequent tool changes and allows process engineers to standardise on a versatile insert for a broad material spectrum. Technical teams can thus optimise cutting data and fixtures around a stable insert platform to raise overall shop productivity.
