Kennametal 2210097 SDKT1204EDSRGP KCPK30 Milling Insert

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 2210097 is a solid carbide milling insert carrying ISO designation SDKT1204EDSRGP and ANSI code SDKT43EDSR8GP. It is manufactured to the KCPK30 grade and features a CVD-applied multilayer coating of TiN, TiCN, and Al2O3 for wear resistance and thermal stability at the cutting edge. The insert is square in shape with a 90-degree included angle, a positive rake geometry of 30 degrees, and a 15-degree relief angle. Four cutting edges are available per insert, with a right-hand cutting orientation and chamfered plus honed edge preparation. The GP chip breaker geometry is suited to general-purpose milling operations. This insert is installed by machinists and toolroom technicians working with indexable milling toolholders that accept SDKT-series inserts.

This insert is designed for milling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium — material application codes P, M, K, and S. It fits production and job-shop milling environments, including face milling and shoulder milling operations where consistent edge geometry and coating durability are required. The screw-holding method provides secure clamping in compatible toolholders. The positive rake and honed edge prep reduce cutting forces and improve surface finish when working with difficult-to-machine alloys such as titanium and nickel-based superalloys.

Key Features

• Solid carbide substrate with CVD multilayer TiN, TiCN, and Al2O3 coating for extended tool life
• Four cutting edges per insert with right-hand orientation — maximizes value per insert
• GP chip breaker with chamfered and honed edge prep reduces cutting forces across multiple workpiece materials
• Positive 30-degree rake angle and 15-degree relief angle support clean chip evacuation
• Conforms to both ANSI and ISO standards — SDKT43EDSR8GP and SDKT1204EDSRGP respectively
• Screw-mount insert holding for repeatable, rigid indexing in compatible toolholders

Compatibility

Designed for use in indexable milling toolholders that accept SDKT-series square inserts with a 0.5 inch inscribed circle and screw clamping. Compatible with SDKT insert pockets per ANSI and ISO standards. Verify toolholder pocket geometry and insert size code 43 compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Disengage and lock out the machine spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the correct torque driver for the clamping screw to avoid seat damage or screw failure — do not overtighten by hand. Inspect the insert pocket seat for chips or debris before seating a new insert, and confirm the correct cutting edge is presented before resuming operation.
