SNMG120404-TM\PV Product characteristics:
1. Blade design: Square blade double-sided 8-blade design, extremely low single-blade cost, suitable for mass production (e.g., standard parts, shaft parts)
2. Rough machining advantages: High strength of 90° tip, can withstand larger cutting depth (3-6mm) and larger feed rate (0.3-0.5mm/rev)
3. Coating: CVD coating

I. Blade model and geometric parameters
SNMG model analysis:
S: Square blade (90° angle), double-sided blade, 4 cutting edges per side, 8 cutting edges per single blade, extremely high cost-effectiveness.
N: Back angle is 0°, suitable for high-rigidity machining conditions (e.g., heavy cutting or intermittent cutting).
M: Medium tolerance grade, balancing cost and accuracy.
G: With hole fixing structure, suitable for standard tool holders.
120404 size parameters:
12: Inscribed circle diameter 12mm, suitable for medium cutting depth (more compact than TNMG1604).
04: Blade thickness 4mm, balances strength and lightweight cutting needs.
04: The tip arc radius is 0.4mm, balancing the semi-finishing surface quality and cutting efficiency.
SNMG120404 – TM\PV common problems
Q1: How to choose TM and PV models?
Both TM and PV are suitable for machining steel turning lathes. TM is suitable for automobile shaft-type medium turning or rough turning, continuous processing of steel parts, and PV is suitable for brake disc rough machining, intermittent turning of hydraulic valve bodies
Q2: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
Standard MOQ: 10 boxes (100 pieces), sample orders are supported (minimum order quantity 1 box).
Packaging and warranty commitment
Standard packaging: 10 pieces/box, customization is supported.
Logistics solutions: Global air/sea freight, DDP door-to-door service is provided.
