Kennametal 2267643 Square-shoulder Face Mill 3 in 7 Insert

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 2267643 is an indexable square-shoulder face mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining applications. Built around the Mill 1-18 series platform, it accepts EC18 and EP18 insert styles secured by screw-clamping, and features through-coolant capability for improved chip evacuation and tool life at the cutting zone. The cutter body has a 3-inch maximum cutting diameter, a 1-inch arbor hole, and a maximum depth of cut of 18.03 millimeters (0.71 inches). With 7 insert pockets and a 0/90-degree lead angle, it delivers true square shoulders in a single pass. Overall height is 1.75 inches. Weight is approximately 1.6 pounds.

This face mill is used in production and job-shop machining environments where square-shoulder profiling, face milling, or stepped-surface work is required. The right-hand cutting direction and screw-lock insert retention make it suited for rigid setups on vertical machining centers and horizontal mills. It is appropriate for machinists and tooling technicians running ferrous and non-ferrous materials where a reliable, repeatable insert platform is needed. The through-coolant design supports higher feed rates and extended insert life in demanding cuts.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the spindle and machine are fully powered down and locked out before mounting or dismounting the cutter body. Torque insert screws per the insert manufacturer's fastener specifications using the correct Torx or hex key. Verify arbor fit, runout, and coolant port alignment before initiating a cut.
