Accupro 56563026 Solid Carbide Hexagon Milling Insert

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 56563026 is a solid carbide milling insert in a hexagonal shape, designed for use with HOKU-series milling cutters. It carries manufacturer grade ACP35M with a PVD coating and a positive rake geometry. The insert features 12 cutting edges and a double-sided configuration, maximizing usable life before replacement. The corner radius is 0.0394 inches (1.00 mm), and the maximum depth of cut reaches 0.1299 inches (3.30 mm). A right-hand cutting orientation and screw-holding method provide secure, repeatable seating in compatible toolholders. Machining professionals and CNC operators working in ferrous and non-ferrous milling applications install this insert in production environments.

This insert is intended for use in milling operations where a hexagonal HOKU-style insert is specified. The size code 08 and inscribed circle of 0.5787 inches (14.70 mm) correspond to standard CI-series cutter bodies that accept HOKU08 inserts. Typical applications include face milling, shoulder milling, and general-purpose material removal where controlled depth of cut and consistent edge geometry are required. The positive rake and PVD coating help reduce cutting forces and extend tool life across a range of workpiece materials.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with ACP35M manufacturer grade for wear resistance
• PVD coating reduces friction and extends cutting edge life
• 12 cutting edges per insert in a double-sided configuration
• Positive rake geometry lowers cutting forces
• Corner radius of 0.0394 inches (1.00 mm) for controlled surface finish
• Screw holding method ensures secure, repeatable insert indexing

Compatibility

Compatible with HOKU-series and CI-series milling cutter bodies that accept size 08 hexagonal inserts. ISO code HOKU0806AZERHCM may be used for cross-reference with compatible tooling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the correct torx or hex key as specified by the cutter body manufacturer when tightening the insert clamping screw — do not overtighten, as this can fracture the carbide insert. Inspect the insert pocket seat for chips or debris before seating a new insert to ensure proper contact and runout control.
