SCMT120408 AH725 milling insert for Fräsen — Tungaloy

The SCMT120408 AH725 is a PVD-coated carbide indexable insert designed for Tungaloy milling systems, suitable for face, shoulder, slot and high-feed milling tasks.

• PVD-coated carbide for high process security
• Universal grade for steel and rostfreier Stahl
• Square 12 mm plate with 0.8 mm corner radius
• Cylindrical hole with single-side countersink

Consistent cutting performance through a universal, PVD-coated grade

The insert is manufactured from carbide and finished with the AH725 PVD coating, delivering stable chip formation and consistent edge life across mixed batches. The selected grade is described as universal and fracture-resistant, which translates into fewer tool changes in mixed production runs and improved machine uptime. The PVD-coated surface improves wear resistance under interrupted cuts and maintains dimensional stability of the cutting edge; this is particularly beneficial for operations demanding high process security rather than extreme-speed optimisation.

Geometry and clamping that support secure, predictable machining

A square, 12 mm plate form combined with a 0.8 mm corner radius and a 4.76 mm plate thickness gives a balance between strength and edge access for shoulder and face milling. The insert features a cylindrical hole with a single-side countersink (40°–60°), designed for accurate seating and repeatable clamping; the 7° relief angle reduces rubbing at entry while the 90° included angle suits many general milling profiles. The designation as an indexable plate means the cutting edge may be rotated when one edge wears, helping to extend usable life while preserving workpiece quality.

Practical advantages for workshop planning and tool selection

These indexable inserts are intended for installation in matching Tungaloy cutter bodies; plate seat, geometry and cutter body must be technically compatible to achieve rated performance. Typical applications include planing, shoulder milling, grooving, high-feed and contouring operations depending on the chosen tool family. The universal AH725 grade is especially useful where material changes occur between steel and rostfreier Stahl, removing the need for multiple dedicated grades and simplifying inventory. For procurement and process planning, this insert supports predictable cycle times and easier downstream finishing due to its controlled edge behaviour.

FAQ

Which cutter bodies are compatible with this insert?
The SCMT120408 AH725 insert is designed for Tungaloy milling systems; compatibility requires matching the plate seat and geometry of the cutter body to the SCMT120408 specification.

For which materials is this grade appropriate?
The AH725 grade on the SCMT120408 is a universal, fracture-resistant type suited for machining steel and rostfreier Stahl, making it a good choice where materials vary.

How does the hole and countersink influence clamping?
The cylindrical hole with a single-side countersink (40°–60°) provides secure seating and repeatable clamping, which helps maintain dimensional accuracy during interrupted cuts.

What milling tasks suit this insert best?
Depending on the tool family, this indexable plate supports face milling, shoulder milling, slotting, high-feed and contouring operations while offering stable chip control.

Why choose the AH725 PVD coating?
The AH725 PVD coating enhances wear resistance and edge stability, improving process security under mixed-material production and interrupted cutting conditions.
