Accupro 54054846 Apkt Milling Insert Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 54054846 is a solid carbide milling insert in the APKT style, designed for use in indexable milling cutters across a range of metal-cutting applications. Manufactured to ISO code APKT1003PDERSCM, this insert features a positive rake geometry and an 11-degree relief angle, which reduce cutting forces and help manage heat at the cutting edge. The ACM40P manufacturer grade uses a PVD coating for wear resistance. With a 0.0197-inch (0.50 mm) corner radius and two cutting edges per insert, it delivers consistent performance in face milling, shoulder milling, and general-purpose stock removal operations. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical tradespeople working in fabrication environments rely on tooling like this for precise metal preparation work.

This insert is suited for right-hand cutting applications in both light and moderate milling operations. It fits cutters from the ACCUPRO CI series and any compatible APKT cutter body. The positive rake and single-sided design make it a practical choice for machining aluminum, general steels, and non-ferrous materials where controlled chip evacuation and edge geometry matter. Inserts are sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with PVD coating for extended edge life
• Positive rake geometry with 11-degree relief angle reduces cutting forces
• ISO code APKT1003PDERSCM ensures standardized cutter body fitment
• Two cutting edges per insert for cost efficiency
• Maximum depth of cut: 0.3937 inches (10.00 mm)
• Screw-held insert mounting for secure, repeatable indexing

Compatibility

Designed for use with APKT-style cutter bodies, including the ACCUPRO CI series. Fitment is confirmed for right-hand cutter bodies accepting APKT1003 inserts.

Installation Notes

Insert replacement and indexing should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician with the spindle fully powered down and locked out per applicable safety procedures. Use the correct torx or hex key as specified by the cutter body manufacturer to seat the screw-held insert without over-torquing the clamping screw. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or debris before seating a new insert to ensure proper seating and edge alignment. Handle carbide inserts with care to avoid chipping the cutting edges prior to use.
