Kennametal 3682452 Milling Insert KC520M Tialn Carbide

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 3682452 is a solid carbide milling insert carrying the ISO designation EDCT10T304PDERLD and manufacturer grade KC520M. It features a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process, delivering elevated heat and wear resistance in demanding milling operations. The insert has a parallelogram shape with a 70-degree included angle, a positive rake geometry, and a honed cutting edge style. At 0.148 inches thick and 0.266 inches wide, this single-sided, right-hand insert is designed for use by machinists and tooling technicians in CNC milling applications, particularly where cast iron workpiece materials are involved.

This insert is intended for cast iron milling applications in both production and job-shop environments. It is compatible with the Mill 1-10 cutter series and is held in place via screw-lock mounting. The LD chip breaker geometry supports controlled chip flow during machining. The insert size code is 10T304, and the ANSI code is EC1004ELD. It delivers two cutting edges per insert, making it a practical choice for high-throughput ferrous material removal where tool life and edge consistency are priorities.

Key Features

• Solid carbide substrate with TiAlN PVD coating for enhanced wear and thermal resistance
• Parallelogram shape (EDCT series) with 70-degree included angle and positive rake
• Two cutting edges per insert with honed edge prep for cast iron machining
• LD chip breaker optimized for controlled chip evacuation
• Right-hand cut orientation with screw-lock insert holding method
• Meets ANSI and ISO insert standards; compatible with Mill 1-10 cutter series

Compatibility

Compatible with the Mill 1-10 cutter series. Designed for right-hand milling operations on cast iron workpiece materials. Insert size code 10T304 fits toolholders specified for the EDCT series. Verify toolholder pocket geometry and screw-lock configuration before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or replacing inserts. Use the appropriate torque wrench and insert screw to secure the insert without over-torquing, which can crack the carbide substrate. Inspect the toolholder pocket for wear or debris before installing a new insert to ensure proper seating and edge alignment.
