RPMT 1606EN AH130 Tungaloy indexable insert for milling — round 16 mm, 11° clearance

The RPMT1606EN AH130 is an indexable insert designed for use in Tungaloy milling systems, offering a wear- and breakage-resistant grade for reliable face, shoulder, slot, high-feed and contour milling.

• PVD-coated carbide grade AH130
• Round 16 mm insert, 6.35 mm thickness
• 11° clearance angle for stable cutting
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink

High process reliability through a wear-resistant grade

The PVD-coated AH130 cemented carbide composition combines a hard surface layer with a tough substrate to deliver wear resistance and reduced risk of chipping during interrupted cuts. This results in more consistent tool life and fewer unexpected tool changes, which supports predictable cycle times in series production. The coating enhances edge retention at medium to high cutting speeds, so the insert is particularly suitable where a sharp cutting edge and process security are required for milling operations.

Secure clamping and geometry compatibility for safe operation

Designed with a cylindrical centre hole and a one-sided countersink (40°–60°), the insert allows precise seating and repeatable clamping in a corresponding tool body. The round configuration and the specified 6.35 mm thickness ensure stable support under radial loads, while the 11° clearance angle helps to control engagement and reduce rubbing on the relief face. Note that insert seat, geometry and the milling body must match technically; correct assembly maintains cutting stability and reduces the risk of mechanical failure.

Versatile application range and practical benefits in production

The insert is intended for a broad spectrum of milling tasks — from face and shoulder work to slotting, high-feed and contour milling — depending on the assigned tool family. The single-sided chipbreaker aids reliable chip control in a number of cutting conditions, which simplifies chip evacuation and can improve surface finish. For operations where frequent index changes are needed, the round insert geometry offers multiple index positions for efficient rotation, contributing to lower tooling costs per workpiece and overall productive machining.

FAQ

What milling operations is this insert suitable for?
The RPMT1606EN AH130 Tungaloy indexable insert is intended for face, shoulder, slot, high-feed and contour milling, with the exact application depending on the selected tool family and holder.

Is the insert compatible with non-Tungaloy tool bodies?
Compatibility requires matching the insert seat, geometry and tool body; the RPMT1606EN AH130 is designed for Tungaloy systems and correct mechanical fit is essential for safe operation.

What are the key benefits of the AH130 grade and PVD coating?
The AH130 PVD-coated cemented carbide offers improved wear resistance and edge stability, providing a sharp cutting edge and process security under a range of milling conditions.

How is the insert clamped and positioned in the cutter?
The insert features a cylindrical central hole with a one-sided countersink (40°–60°) for secure, repeatable clamping; proper seating prevents movement and contributes to stable cutting performance.

What are the main dimensions and angles to check when ordering?
Check the designation RPMT1606EN, 16 mm diameter, 6.35 mm thickness and the 11° clearance angle to ensure the insert matches the cutter body.
