RPMT1606EN AH725 indexable milling insert (PVD-coated carbide) by Tungaloy
The RPMT1606EN AH725 is an indexable milling insert designed for universal milling tasks where process security and consistent chip control are required.
- PVD-coated AH725 for mixed materials
- One-sided chipbreaker for secure chip control
- Round 16 mm form, 6.35 mm thickness
- Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink
High, consistent productivity through optimised cutting grade
The PVD-coated cutting grade AH725 is engineered as a universal, breakage-resistant solution for machining steel and stainless steels, delivering stable chip formation and reduced risk of built-up edge. In practical terms, the use of this grade leads to fewer unexpected tool changes and steadier surface quality in serial production. The insert’s design supports reliable wear progression, which helps maintain machining parameters over longer runs and improves overall process security for mixed-material batches.
Secure clamping and repeatable seating for reliable machining
Compatibility of insert seat, geometry and cutter body is essential for safe operation; the round insert in 16 mm form with a 6.35 mm plate thickness and a cylindrical hole plus one-sided countersink (40°–60°) enables precise alignment and firm clamping. The 11° relief angle supports efficient cutting without compromising edge support. These features together ensure repeatable positioning and allow higher feed rates in appropriate tool families, reducing vibration and protecting the cutter body during demanding face, shoulder or contour operations.
Versatile application scope with focused chip control
Designed for a range of milling operations — from face and shoulder milling to slotting, high-feed and contour tasks depending on the assigned tool family — the insert’s one-sided chipbreaker is optimised for reliable chip evacuation in interrupted and continuous cuts. The combination of geometry and AH725 substrate provides a balance between toughness and wear resistance, making the insert a practical choice where tool inventory consolidation and process stability are priorities. The RPMT1606EN AH725 insert therefore supports consistent results across varied milling requirements without frequent retooling.

FAQ
Is the RPMT1606EN AH725 suitable for stainless steels?
The RPMT1606EN AH725 insert is specified for steel and stainless steels; the AH725 PVD-coated grade offers resistance to built-up edge and stable chip formation in such materials.
Which milling tasks are recommended for this insert?
Typical applications include face, shoulder, slot, high-feed and contour milling, depending on the assigned milling body and tool family that accept the RPMT1606EN geometry.
What clamping geometry is required for correct use?
Correct use requires a milling body with a matching seat for the RPMT1606EN round form, ensuring the cylindrical hole and 40°–60° countersink align with the cutter’s clamping screw and support pad.
How does the AH725 grade affect tool life and process security?
The AH725 grade combines toughness and wear resistance to provide stable chip formation and a reduced risk of insert breakage, which enhances process security and contributes to more predictable tool life.
