Tungaloy SPMT090308-PS AH725 Milling Insert
Multi-Purpose Milling | Premium AH725 PVD Grade | High Edge Security
Which milling insert is best for stainless steel and general steel alloys?
The Tungaloy SPMT090308-PS AH725 is a highly versatile PVD-coated carbide insert designed for precision and stability. Featuring the AH725 grade, this insert excels in varied cutting conditions, particularly where edge toughness is required to prevent chipping. The -PS chipbreaker is specifically developed for light-to-medium milling, providing excellent chip control and reduced cutting forces. 100% Made in Japan, it is the professional choice for CNC operators seeking a "go-to" insert that handles steel, stainless steel, and heat-resistant alloys with ease.
AH725 PVD Coating
A high-Al-content (Al,Ti)N PVD coating combined with a dedicated tough substrate. It offers extreme resistance to adhesion and micro-chipping, even in interrupted cuts.
-PS High-Positive Geometry
The -PS geometry features a sharp cutting edge that minimizes work hardening. It is ideal for low-rigidity setups or thin-walled workpieces where vibration control is critical.
0.8mm Radius Durability
The 0.8mm (08) corner radius offers superior edge strength for heavy-duty applications while maintaining excellent feed capability and surface finish.

Recommended Cutting Parameters (AH725)
-
Cutting Speed (Vc): 80 - 200 m/min (depending on material)
-
Feed per Tooth (fz): 0.10 - 0.25 mm/t
-
Depth of Cut (ap): 0.5 - 3.5 mm
*Pro Tip: For stainless steel, ensure adequate coolant flow to manage heat. For steel alloys, AH725 can run dry if air blast is used.*
4. Product Applications
- General milling of carbon steels, alloy steels, and stainless steels.
- Excellent for machining heat-resistant superalloys (HRSA).
- Ideal for small-to-medium batch production with variable conditions.
- Stable performance in interrupted cuts and face milling.
5. Tool Compatibility
Perfectly matches all standard Tungaloy indexable milling cutters (Tung-Tri, Tung-Turn) designed for SPMT 0903 inserts. Compatible with ISO standard tool holders.

8. FAQ - CNC Expert Support
Q: Can AH725 handle stainless steel?
A: Absolutely. AH725 is one of Tungaloy's most versatile grades and excels in stainless steel due to its high PVD coating adhesion and tough substrate.
Q: What is the benefit of the -PS geometry?
A: The -PS is a 'High-Positive' chipbreaker. It features a sharper cutting edge which reduces cutting force and heat, perfect for delicate parts or unstable setups.
Q: Is this a genuine Tungaloy product?
A: Yes. All our Tungaloy products are 100% original, imported directly, ensuring the Japanese manufacturing precision you expect.
Expert Tip: PVD vs. CVD Milling
The **AH725 PVD** grade is designed for versatility and edge security. Unlike CVD coatings, PVD coatings are thinner and keep the cutting edge sharp, which is essential for gummy materials like stainless steel. Use AH725 for multi-material environments where reliability is more important than pure high-speed material removal. Trust **Tungaloy Japan** for stable CNC performance.
