Kennametal 2235055 Square-shoulder Face Mill 4 in

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 2235055 is an indexable square-shoulder face mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining environments. Built around the Fix-Perfect series platform, this tool accepts four BGHX 15L5 inserts and delivers a maximum cutting diameter of 4 inches with a maximum depth of cut of 0.394 inches. The 1-1/4 inch arbor hole diameter provides solid spindle engagement, while the positive rake angle of 24 degrees promotes efficient chip formation and reduced cutting forces. This cutter is intended for use by machinists and CNC programmers running milling operations on ferrous and non-ferrous materials in production or job-shop settings.

The 2235055 is suited for horizontal and vertical milling machines, CNC machining centers, and manual knee mills capable of accepting a 1-1/4 inch arbor. Its 0/90 degree lead angle geometry produces true square shoulders, making it appropriate for step milling, face milling, and shoulder profiling applications. The right-hand cutting direction and clamp-style insert retention are standard for this cutter class. With an overall height of 1-3/4 inches and a body diameter of 3.913 inches, it fits within typical spindle clearance envelopes for mid-size machining centers.

Key Features

• 4-insert configuration with BGHX 15L5 compatible insert style for flexible tooling inventory
• 0/90 degree lead angle produces true square shoulders in a single pass
• Positive rake geometry at 24 degrees reduces cutting forces and heat generation
• Fix-Perfect series design for consistent insert indexing and repeatable runout
• Clamp-style insert holding method for secure retention under heavy feeds
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed for use with BGHX 15L5 series inserts. Mounts via a 1-1/4 inch arbor hole. Verify machine spindle taper, arbor dimensions, and RPM range against KENNAMETAL Fix-Perfect series specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation and setup should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before mounting or removing the cutter. Inspect the arbor, keyway, and draw bar engagement for proper fit before running at speed. Follow the machine tool manufacturer and KENNAMETAL tooling documentation for torque and runout verification procedures.
