Kennametal 2877460 Milling Insert EDPT180532PDERHD KC725M

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 2877460 is a solid carbide milling insert in the EDPT series, designed for high-performance face and shoulder milling operations on steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium. It carries the KC725M manufacturer grade and features a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process, which provides thermal resistance and extended tool life in demanding cuts. The insert measures 0.2165 inches thick and 0.4264 inches wide, with a 0.1260-inch corner radius and a positive rake geometry. The HD chip breaker controls chip flow across a variety of feed rates and depths. Installation requires a screw-held pocket in a compatible cutter body.

This insert is suited for both roughing and finishing applications in ferrous and exotic-alloy machining environments. Its positive rake and 15-degree relief angle reduce cutting forces, making it appropriate for use on CNC machining centers in aerospace, energy, and general manufacturing settings. The right-hand cut orientation and parallelogram shape (70-degree included angle) fit standard EDPT-style pockets. The HD chip breaker designation indicates optimization for heavier chip loads at moderate to aggressive feeds on steel and stainless steel workpieces.

Key Features

• Positive rake with 15-degree relief angle reduces cutting forces and tool pressure
• 0.1260-inch corner radius for controlled edge strength and surface finish
• 2 cutting edges per insert, single-sided, right-hand orientation
• Screw-held mounting for secure, repeatable seating in compatible cutter bodies

Compatibility

Compatible with KENNAMETAL Mill 1-18 cutter series. ANSI code EP1832EHD. ISO code EDPT180532PDERHD. Insert size code 1832. Fits EDPT-style screw-held pockets in right-hand configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the spindle before seating or removing inserts. Use the correct Torx or hex key for the clamping screw as specified by the cutter body manufacturer. Inspect the pocket seat for chips or debris before installing the insert to ensure proper seating and prevent premature edge failure.
