Kennametal 2983279 Milling Insert KC410M Solid Carbide

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 2983279 is a solid carbide milling insert in the EDCT series, designed for high-performance material removal in non-ferrous metal applications. It carries the ISO designation EDCT140408PDFRLDJ and ANSI code EC1408FLDJ, and is manufactured in grade KC410M with a titanium diboride (TiB2) PVD coating. The parallelogram insert shape features a 70-degree included angle, a positive rake geometry, and a sharp cutting edge style with an LD chip breaker. With a 15-degree relief angle and two cutting edges per insert, this tool is built for efficient, clean cuts on aluminum, copper, and other non-ferrous workpiece materials. Licensed machinists and CNC tooling technicians are the primary installers.

This insert is intended for non-ferrous metal milling operations in both production and job-shop environments. It is compatible with the Kennametal Mill 1-14 cutter series and is held in place by screw-type insert retention. The right-hand cutting orientation suits standard right-hand milling setups. Single-sided construction means the insert is indexed when the active edge is worn, with two usable cutting edges total per insert. This makes it appropriate for precision finishing and semi-finishing passes where edge sharpness and coating integrity are critical to surface finish quality.

Compatibility

Designed for use with the Kennametal Mill 1-14 cutter series. Insert size code 1408, ISO code EDCT140408PDFRLDJ, ANSI code EC1408FLDJ. Verify cutter body compatibility with the EDCT series seating geometry before installation.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Use the appropriate Torx or hex key for the screw-mount retention system and follow the cutter body manufacturer's seating procedure. Inspect the insert pocket and seating surfaces for debris or damage before installing a new insert to ensure proper edge presentation and runout.
