Kennametal 2546816 Milling Insert KD1410 Pcd Uncoated

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 2546816 is a polycrystalline diamond (PCD) milling insert carrying the ANSI/ISO designation BGHX15L5PCSRLET and manufactured to grade KD1410. It is a single-sided, right-hand insert with an irregular BGHX-series profile designed for high-efficiency milling of non-ferrous metals. The insert features a positive rake geometry, a 30-degree relief angle, and a chamfered and honed cutting edge style that promotes clean chip formation and extended edge life. At 0.1969 inches thick and 0.4134 inches in length, it is sized for precision toolholders in the Fix-Perfect cutter series. This insert is installed by machinists and tooling specialists in CNC milling applications where tight tolerances and surface finish quality are critical.

This insert is intended for milling non-ferrous metals such as aluminum alloys, copper alloys, and similar materials where PCD tooling outperforms carbide in edge retention and surface finish. The flat-top chip breaker geometry suits finishing and semi-finishing passes at elevated cutting speeds typical of non-ferrous machining. It is compatible with Fix-Perfect cutter bodies that accept BGHX-series inserts in the 15L5 size code. The screw-holding method provides positive clamping and repeatable indexing in production environments.

• Positive rake geometry with 30-degree relief angle and chamfered and honed cutting edge
• Right-hand cutting orientation, single-sided with one cutting edge
• Flat-top chip breaker suited for finishing and semi-finishing passes
• Screw-mount insert holding method for secure, repeatable clamping
• Uncoated bright finish; meets ANSI and ISO standards under designation BGHX15L5PCSRLET

Compatibility

Designed for use with Fix-Perfect cutter bodies that accept BGHX-series inserts in the 15L5 size code. Intended for non-ferrous metal milling applications. Verify toolholder compatibility using ANSI/ISO code BGHX15L5PCSRLET before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the cutter body is fully de-energized and spindle is locked out before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the appropriate Torx or hex key driver specified by the cutter body manufacturer when tightening the insert screw; do not overtighten. Inspect the insert pocket seat for debris or damage before seating the new insert to ensure proper clamping and runout.
