Kennametal 2980568 Milling Insert EDPT140412PDSRGD KC725M

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 2980568 is a solid carbide milling insert with ISO designation EDPT140412PDSRGD and ANSI code EP1412SGD, manufactured in the KC725M grade. It features a parallelogram shape with a positive rake geometry, a 15-degree relief angle, and a chamfered and honed cutting edge style. The TiAlN coating is applied via PVD process, delivering thermal resistance and wear protection suited to demanding milling operations. With an inscribed circle of 0.3288 inches, a thickness of 0.1770 inches, and a corner radius of 0.0470 inches (3/64 inch), this insert delivers consistent edge geometry across two cutting edges. It is installed by machinists and CNC tooling technicians.

This insert is designed for milling steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium, covering ISO material codes P, M, and S. It carries a C5, C6, and C7 material grade classification, making it applicable across a broad range of modern machining centers. The right-hand, single-sided configuration and screw-holding method suit high-feed and shoulder milling setups where secure clamping and repeatable insert indexing are required. The GD chip breaker geometry supports controlled chip flow in interrupted and continuous cuts on difficult-to-machine alloys. Compatible with the KENNAMETAL Mill 1-14 cutter series.

Key Features

• KC725M grade solid carbide substrate with TiAlN PVD coating for wear and heat resistance in steel and superalloy milling
• Positive rake geometry with 15-degree relief angle reduces cutting forces on difficult materials
• GD chip breaker controls chip evacuation during interrupted and continuous cuts
• Two indexable cutting edges per insert; right-hand, single-sided configuration
• Chamfered and honed cutting edge preparation improves edge stability and reduces micro-chipping
• Screw-holding mount ensures rigid, repeatable seating in compatible toolholders

Compatibility

Designed for use with the KENNAMETAL Mill 1-14 cutter series. ISO code EDPT140412PDSRGD and ANSI code EP1412SGD apply. Insert size code 1412; series EDPT.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or hex key to the toolholder manufacturer's specified procedure when seating the clamping screw — do not overtighten. Inspect the insert pocket and seating surfaces for chips or debris before installing a new insert to ensure proper seating and edge geometry.
