SNGX 1206 is a square 90° milling insert with 8 usable cutting edges, used mainly for heavy roughing, square shoulders and interrupted cuts. We list 54 stock-keeping variants of it from Achteck, covering Steel, Stainless steel, Cast iron, Heat-resistant alloys.
Milling inserts are chosen to match the cutter body — lead angle, number of teeth and the geometry designated by the manufacturer. The milling insert selection guide walks through that; this page lists what we actually hold in SNGX 1206.

Cutting data
The 54 variants of SNGX 1206 listed here are supplied without a full published cutting-data set, so we do not publish one. Ask us for the specific grade and chipbreaker you are considering and we will send the manufacturer's window for it.
Carbide grades available
54 variants of SNGX 1206 are stocked in these grades: AP251K, AP351U, AC301K, AP251U, AC151K, AC251P, AP403M, AP403S.
Across this range the grades specified most often are AP251K, AP351U, AC301K, AP251U, AC151K. Within one brand's range, a higher middle digit usually means a tougher grade — better on interrupted cuts, slightly less wear resistant. See carbide grades explained for how to read the names.
Chipbreaker geometries
Chipbreakers stocked for SNGX 1206: MM4, MM3, MR6, RR2.
For milling, the geometry code marks the intended duty — sharper for light cuts and better finish, stronger for scale and interruption. Milling insert selection guide.
