Kennametal 2267542 Square-shoulder Face Mill 2 Inches

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 2267542 is an indexable square-shoulder face mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining environments. Built for the Mill 1-18 series, it accepts EC18.. and EP18.. style inserts secured by screw-clamp retention, and features through-coolant capability to manage heat and chip evacuation at the cutting zone. The body provides a 2-inch maximum cutting diameter with a 0/90 degree lead angle, enabling true square shoulders in a single pass. With a 3/4-inch arbor hole and right-hand cutting direction, this mill fits standard vertical and horizontal milling setups. It is typically installed and operated by machinists and tooling specialists in CNC and manual milling applications.

This face mill is suited for square-shoulder milling of steel, stainless, cast iron, and other ferrous materials in both production and job-shop environments. The 3-insert configuration and 0/90 degree lead angle deliver clean radial walls and flat floor finishes in a single operation. Through-coolant delivery supports higher feed rates and extended insert life in demanding cuts. The Mill 1-18 series designation identifies the insert pocket geometry, ensuring insert interchangeability within the series family.

Installation Notes

Installation and setup should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the milling machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before mounting or dismounting the face mill body. Verify arbor fit and torque insert screws to the tool manufacturer's specification using the appropriate Torx or hex driver supplied with the tooling system. Confirm through-coolant passages are clear and aligned with the machine spindle coolant port before operation.
