Dorian Tool 73310195511 Carbide Milling Insert Tdex 17T304

Product Description

The DORIAN TOOL 73310195511 is a solid carbide coated milling insert designed for indexable milling operations in steel applications. Identified by ANSI and ISO code TDEX-17T304-XDEN-DPP30UM, this insert features a triangular shape with a 45-degree included angle, a positive rake geometry, and an 11-degree relief angle. The PVD-applied coating and DPP30UM manufacturer grade target P15-P30 material grade workpieces, making it well-suited for cutting mild to medium alloy steels. The screw-holding method provides secure clamping in compatible toolholders, and the neutral hand designation allows flexible mounting orientation. Licensed machinists and CNC setup technicians are the primary installers of this insert.

This insert is intended for milling operations on steel workpieces in both production and job-shop environments. The TDEX series geometry and DPP chip breaker are engineered for positive-rake cutting action, reducing cutting forces and heat generation during steel milling passes. The insert size code 17T304 places it within a standard indexable insert family commonly used on face mills, shoulder mills, and similar tooling platforms designed for the TDEX insert style. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 5 units.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with PVD-applied coating for wear resistance in steel cutting
• Triangular insert shape with 45-degree included angle and 11-degree relief angle
• Positive rake geometry with DPP chip breaker for reduced cutting forces
• Neutral hand orientation for versatile mounting in TDEX-compatible toolholders
• Screw-held clamping method for rigid, repeatable insert positioning
• P15-P30 material grade rating targeting mild to medium alloy steel workpieces

Compatibility

Designed for use in TDEX-series indexable milling toolholders that accept size 17T304 triangular inserts with a screw-holding method. Specific compatible toolholder models were not listed in the available product data; consult the DORIAN TOOL TDEX toolholder catalog to confirm fitment before ordering.

Installation Notes

Insert replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC technician with the machine fully powered down and the spindle locked before removing or seating inserts. Use the appropriate torx or hex key as specified by the toolholder manufacturer to torque the clamping screw - do not overtighten, as this can fracture the insert. Inspect the toolholder pocket and locating surfaces for chips or wear before seating a new insert. Always index or replace all inserts on a cutter body at the same time to maintain balanced cutting performance.
