WNGU07T316 AH120 trigon indexable insert for milling – Tungaloy

WNGU07T316 AH120 is an indexable insert designed for a wide range of milling tasks where a sharp cutting edge and reliable process security are required; suitable for Tungaloy milling systems when seat, geometry and cutter body match.

• PVD-coated carbide for high wear resistance
• Trigon form with 80° cutting angle
• Double-sided chipbreaker for stable chips
• Cylindrical hole with double countersink

Consistent performance from the AH120 grade

The AH120 grade combines a PVD coating with a wear-resistant carbide substrate, delivering a balance between edge strength and abrasion resistance. This composition is intended to reduce flank wear and minimise chipping under interrupted cuts, which in turn supports longer effective tool life and fewer tool changes. For milling applications where process stability is critical, the coated grade helps maintain consistent cutting geometry over extended cycles, leading to predictable machining results and improved production throughput.

Secure seating and system compatibility for safe machining

Indexable inserts in this series require correct seating and matching cutter bodies; the insert seat, geometric form and cutter must be technically compatible to achieve rated performance. The trigon form with its cylindrical hole and double countersink (40°–60°) ensures secure clamping and repeatable positioning, which reduces vibration and improves surface finish. Where tool systems are correctly paired, this insert supports stable clamping torque and reliable engagement—factors that contribute directly to machining safety and component quality.

Geometry and chip control that benefit cycle time

The insert’s 1.6 mm corner radius and 80° cutting angle are engineered for robust edge strength while still permitting effective chip formation across common milling strategies. The double-sided chipbreaker promotes controlled chip segmentation and evacuation, reducing the risk of built-up edge and potential re-cutting of chips. For operations such as face milling, shoulder milling and contouring, the combination of edge geometry and chip control helps to sustain higher cutting parameters with predictable tool behaviour, translating to efficiency gains on the shop floor.

Application scope and practical advantages in production

Designed for use in plan, shoulder, slot, high-feed and contour milling depending on the associated tool family, the insert is positioned as a productive choice where a sharp edge and process security are required. The PVD-coated AH120 grade is particularly suitable for users seeking a compromise between wear resistance and fracture toughness. By reducing unplanned downtimes and extending usable edge life, the insert contributes to steady production flow and helps to lower overall tooling interventions.
