Accupro 54054697 Apkt Milling Insert Solid Carbide ACP35M

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 54054697 is a solid carbide milling insert in APKT style, designed for use in indexable milling cutters on CNC machining centers and manual mills. It features a rectangular shape with a positive rake geometry and an 11-degree relief angle, which reduces cutting forces and supports cleaner chip evacuation. The insert carries a PVD coating under manufacturer grade ACP35M, improving wear resistance and extending tool life in a range of ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. The corner radius measures 0.0197 inches (0.50 mm), and the inscribed circle diameter is 0.2657 inches (6.75 mm). A single-sided, right-hand design with screw-style holding keeps the insert securely seated during cuts.

This insert is suited for face milling, shoulder milling, and general-purpose material removal in job shop and production machining environments. It fits tool holders and cutter bodies designed for the APKT insert style within the CI series. The maximum depth of cut reaches 0.3937 inches (10.00 mm), making it a practical choice for moderate to full-depth passes in both roughing and semi-finishing applications. Machinists working with aluminum, steel, and cast iron will find the geometry and coating combination well-suited to their requirements.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with PVD coating under grade ACP35M for extended wear resistance
• Positive rake geometry with 11-degree relief angle reduces cutting forces and improves chip flow
• Corner radius of 0.0197 inches (0.50 mm) for controlled surface finish at insert nose
• Maximum depth of cut of 0.3937 inches (10.00 mm) supports moderate roughing passes
• Single-sided, right-hand orientation with screw-style holding for secure seating
• Two cutting edges per insert for cost-effective indexing

Compatibility

Designed for use with APKT-style cutter bodies and tool holders in the CI series. ISO code APKT1003PDERHCM identifies the exact insert geometry for cross-referencing with compatible cutter platforms.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists using the appropriate torx or hex key for the insert clamping screw specified by the cutter body manufacturer. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Inspect the insert pocket seat for chips or debris before seating the new insert, as contamination affects runout and tool life. Follow the cutter body manufacturer torque specifications for the clamping screw.
