RPMT1606EN AH725 RPMT indexable insert for milling — Tungaloy

A RPMT1606EN AH725 Tungaloy indexable insert engineered for versatile milling tasks, offering a universal, fracture‑resistant grade for steel and stainless steels in compatible Tungaloy milling systems.

• PVD-coated carbide AH725 for steel & stainless steels
• One-sided chipbreaker for reliable chip control
• Round 16 mm insert, 6.35 mm thickness
• Cylindrical hole with single-side countersink (40°–60°)

Consistent process security from the PVD-coated grade

The AH725 grade is a PVD-coated carbide developed for universal use where process reliability is paramount. Its composition and coating deliver stable cutting behaviour when machining steel and stainless steels, reducing the risk of unexpected insert failure. For production environments with frequent material changes or smaller tool diameters, this fracture‑resistant grade helps maintain cycle times and limit unscheduled tool changes, supporting a steady workflow and predictable tool life.

Secure seating and geometry for accurate milling forces

The radial geometry — a round 16 mm form with 6.35 mm thickness and 11° relief — ensures even load distribution in compatible milling bodies. The insert's cylindrical hole with a single-side countersink (40°–60°) enables positive clamping and precise seating; matching the insert seat and tool body geometry is essential for repeatable results. Where rigidity and clamping integrity matter, this insert design reduces vibration and supports consistent surface finish across face, shoulder and contour milling operations.

Chip control and application scope for efficient removal

Equipped with a one-sided chipbreaker, the insert promotes effective chip formation and evacuation, particularly useful in mixed operations such as face, shoulder, slot, high‑feed and contour milling depending on the assigned tool family. The chipbreaker geometry is tuned to control chip size and flow, lowering the chance of re-cutting and improving tool life. Integration into Tungaloy milling systems is straightforward provided the tool body and insert seat conform to the same technical specifications.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The RPMT1606EN AH725 insert is specified for machining steel and stainless steels, the AH725 grade providing universal, fracture‑resistant performance.

Which milling operations suit this insert best?
The insert is designed for a range of milling operations — face, shoulder, slot, high‑feed and contour milling — depending on the chosen milling body and tool family.

How does the chipbreaker benefit production?
The one‑sided chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation, which improves machining consistency and reduces the likelihood of re‑cutting, supporting longer tool life.

What clamping features ensure secure seating?
Secure seating is achieved via the cylindrical hole with a single‑side countersink (40°–60°) combined with the round geometry and the specified relief angle; correct matching of insert and milling body is critical.
