Kennametal 3642170 Milling Insert EDPT10T308PDSRGD KC725M

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 3642170 is a solid carbide milling insert in the EDPT series, designed for high-performance face and shoulder milling operations. Carrying ISO code EDPT10T308PDSRGD and ANSI code EP1008SGD, this single-sided, right-hand insert features a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process for extended tool life and thermal resistance. The parallelogram insert shape, positive rake geometry, and chamfered and honed cutting edges combine to promote clean chip formation and reduced cutting forces. With two cutting edges and a 15-degree relief angle, it is suited for productive metal removal in demanding machining environments. Licensed machinists and CNC setup technicians are the primary installers.

This insert is engineered for milling steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium, covering material grades C5, C6, and C7 (ISO material codes P, M, and S). It is compatible with the Kennametal Mill 1-10 cutter series and seats via screw holding method. Typical applications include face milling, shoulder milling, and pocketing operations on machining centers in both production and job-shop environments. The GD chip breaker geometry aids chip control across varying depths of cut and feed rates when working with the listed workpiece materials.

Key Features

• TiAlN PVD coating for high thermal stability and wear resistance in steel and superalloy cutting
• Positive rake with chamfered and honed cutting edges for reduced cutting forces and improved edge integrity
• 15-degree relief angle supports clean cutting action and reduced flank wear
• GD chip breaker geometry designed for effective chip control in steel, stainless, and titanium
• Right-hand, single-sided insert with screw-lock holding for secure seating in compatible cutter bodies
• Dual ISO and ANSI standard compliance for broad specification cross-reference

Compatibility

Compatible with the Kennametal Mill 1-10 cutter series. Insert size code 10T308 with ISO designation EDPT10T308PDSRGD and ANSI designation EP1008SGD. Intended for machining steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium workpieces.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed machinist or CNC tooling technician. Ensure the cutter body is fully removed from the spindle and the machine is in a locked-out, de-energized state before seating or replacing inserts. Use the correct Torx or hex key driver specified for the cutter body screw to avoid seat damage. Inspect the insert pocket for debris or wear before installing a new insert.
