Accupro 54054234 Milling Insert Hexagon Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 54054234 is a solid carbide milling insert designed for use in indexable milling cutters and face mills. Manufactured in a hexagon (HNKU) shape with a double-sided configuration, this insert delivers 12 usable cutting edges per unit, reducing tooling cost per edge. It carries the ACP30M manufacturer grade and features a CVD coating for extended wear resistance in demanding milling applications. The insert has a positive rake geometry, a 0 degrees relief angle, and a corner radius of 0.0394 inches (1.00 mm). It is held in place by a screw-clamp method and is right-hand oriented. Metalworking machinists and CNC operators install and index this insert during scheduled tool maintenance.

This insert is suited for indexable milling operations in both production shop and job shop environments. The HNKU0806AZERHCM ISO code identifies the insert geometry precisely for toolholder matching. It is compatible with HNKU-series cutter bodies and CI-series tooling systems. Maximum depth of cut is 3.30 mm (0.1299 inches), making it well matched to moderate-depth face milling and shoulder milling passes on ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. The double-sided, 12-edge design supports high-volume production runs where frequent indexing is expected.

Key Features

• 12 cutting edges per insert from double-sided hexagon geometry
• CVD coating provides thermal and abrasion resistance during high-speed cuts
• Positive rake design reduces cutting forces and heat generation
• Screw-clamp insert holding method for secure, repeatable seating
• Corner radius of 0.0394 inches (1.00 mm) for controlled surface finish
• Maximum depth of cut of 0.1299 inches (3.30 mm)

Compatibility

Designed for use with HNKU-series and CI-series indexable milling cutter bodies. ISO code HNKU0806AZERHCM identifies the exact toolholder pocket geometry required.

Installation Notes

Insert indexing and replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before handling inserts. Use the correct torque wrench and manufacturer-specified insert screws when seating the insert to avoid seat damage. Inspect the cutter pocket and seating surface for chips or debris before installing a new edge.
