Accupro 56465974 Apkt Milling Insert Solid Carbide ACK15

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 56465974 is a solid carbide milling insert in the APKT style, designed for use in indexable milling cutters across a range of metal-cutting applications. It carries the ACK15 manufacturer grade with a CVD coating finish, delivering the wear resistance and thermal stability required for consistent performance in milling operations. The insert features a positive rake geometry, an 11-degree relief angle, and a corner radius of 0.0197 inches (0.50 mm). With two cutting edges per insert and a screw-based holding method, it offers reliable clamping and efficient edge utilization for production environments.

This insert is suited for face milling, shoulder milling, and general-purpose milling operations in machining environments where indexable tooling is standard. The APKT insert style and right-hand cut orientation make it a straightforward replacement or replenishment choice for compatible APKT-style milling cutter bodies in the CI series. Typical users include CNC machinists and tool-room operators working with ferrous and non-ferrous materials at moderate to high cutting speeds. The ISO code for this insert is APKT1003PDERCCM.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with CVD coating for extended tool life
• ACK15 manufacturer grade suited for demanding milling applications
• Positive rake geometry with 11-degree relief angle reduces cutting forces
• Two cutting edges per single-sided insert maximize value per piece
• Screw-based insert holding method provides secure, repeatable clamping
• Maximum depth of cut of 0.3937 inches (10.00 mm) supports aggressive passes

Compatibility

Compatible with APKT-style cutter bodies in the CI series. Verify cutter body pocket geometry and insert seat dimensions before installation to confirm fitment.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians using the appropriate torx or hex key for the insert clamping screw. Ensure the cutter body is fully secured and the machine spindle is locked or powered down before indexing or replacing inserts. Inspect the insert pocket seat for damage or debris before seating the new insert. Follow the cutter body manufacturer's recommended clamping torque procedure to avoid insert cracking or seat damage.
