Kennametal 1024994 Square-shoulder Face Mill 2 Inches

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1024994 is an indexable square-shoulder face mill designed for precision milling operations in metal cutting applications. Built to KSSM series standards, it accepts SD.T 43.. style inserts secured by screw-type insert holding, and accommodates five inserts at a fine pitch configuration. The cutter operates in a right-hand cutting direction with a 0/90 lead angle, making it well suited for producing true 90-degree shoulder profiles. With a maximum cutting diameter of 2 inches, a maximum depth of cut of 0.361 inches, and an overall height of 1.75 inches, this body fits standard 3/4-inch arbor setups. The unit weighs 1.71 pounds.

This face mill is used in CNC machining centers and manual knee mills where square-shoulder milling of ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces is required. The 0/90 lead angle allows full-depth shoulder cuts in a single pass, reducing the number of operations needed to achieve a finished perpendicular wall. The fine pitch, 5-insert configuration supports consistent chip load distribution, making it appropriate for both roughing and semi-finish passes in production-level shop environments. Machinists and CNC operators in job shops, aerospace, and general manufacturing are the primary users.

Key Features

• 0/90 lead angle enables true square-shoulder milling with perpendicular wall accuracy
• Five-insert, fine-pitch configuration for consistent chip load and surface finish
• Screw-type insert clamping for secure, repeatable insert indexing
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard spindle rotation
• 3/4-inch arbor hole with 0.330-inch keyway width for positive drive engagement
• No coolant-through requirement simplifies setup on standard arbors

Compatibility

Compatible inserts include SDCW 433PDSR8GN, SDCW 43PDSR8GN, SDPT 43PDER8GB2, and SDPT 43PDSR8GB2. The cutter body accepts SD.T 43.. series inserts and is part of the KSSM series platform.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Before mounting, power down and lock out the machine spindle per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Seat the arbor fully into the 3/4-inch bore and engage the keyway before torquing the draw bar or arbor nut. Insert pockets should be cleaned and inspected for chips or damage before indexing or replacing inserts.
