Kennametal 2624279 Square-shoulder Face Mill 4 in

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 2624279 is an indexable square-shoulder face mill designed for precision milling operations on machining centers and CNC mills. Built to the Mill 1-14 series specification, this cutter accepts 8 inserts of the EC14 or EP14 style and delivers a maximum cutting diameter of 4 inches with a maximum depth of cut of 0.56 inches (14.22 mm). The 0/90-degree lead angle produces true square shoulders in a single pass, reducing secondary operations. Insert retention is screw-based for positive clamping, and through-coolant capability directs fluid directly to the cutting zone for thermal management and chip evacuation.

This face mill is suited for production environments where consistent square-shoulder profiles are required in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 1-1/2-inch arbor hole mounts directly to standard shell mill arbors. With 8 insert pockets and right-hand cutting direction, it is a good fit for high-volume face milling, shoulder milling, and step milling operations on horizontal and vertical machining centers. Machinists and tooling engineers specify the Mill 1-14 series for its insert density and rigid body construction at medium-to-large cutter diameters.

• Screw-type insert clamping for secure seating under interrupted and continuous cuts
• Right-hand cutting direction; mounts on 1-1/2-inch arbor hole

Compatibility

Compatible with EC14 and EP14 series inserts. Designed for use in the KENNAMETAL Mill 1-14 series tooling system. Mounts on standard 1-1/2-inch shell mill arbors.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before mounting or removing the cutter body. Verify arbor and cutter mating surfaces are clean and free of chips before torquing to the arbor manufacturer's specification. Confirm insert pockets and screw threads are clean and undamaged before seating new inserts.
