Kennametal 5169173 Milling Insert KC725M Solid Carbide

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 5169173 is a solid carbide milling insert carrying the ISO designation EDPT070308PDSRGE and manufactured to KENNAMETAL grade KC725M. This parallelogram-shaped, single-sided insert features a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process, a positive 20-degree rake angle, and a 15-degree relief angle. The cutting edge is chamfered and honed for durability and edge stability when machining challenging workpiece materials. Designed for right-hand cutting, the insert uses a screw-in holding method and is compatible with the KENNAMETAL Mill 1-7 cutter series. Licensed machinists and tooling specialists install this insert in face milling and shoulder milling applications.

This insert is engineered for primary use in steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium workpiece materials, corresponding to ISO material codes P, M, and S. The GE chip breaker geometry is suited for finishing and semi-finishing passes where controlled chip formation and edge integrity are critical. The insert conforms to both ANSI code EP0708SGE and ISO code EDPT070308PDSRGE. Applications include aerospace component machining, die and mold work, and general-purpose metal removal where heat resistance and wear life are priorities.

• Positive 20-degree rake angle with 15-degree relief reduces cutting forces and heat generation
• Chamfered and honed cutting edge style for edge toughness and consistent finish quality
• GE chip breaker geometry promotes reliable chip evacuation during finishing and semi-finishing passes
• Compatible with KENNAMETAL Mill 1-7 cutter series; right-hand insert orientation

Compatibility

Compatible with the KENNAMETAL Mill 1-7 cutter series. Accepts inserts with insert size code 0708 and conforms to ANSI and ISO standards for EDPT-series tooling. Designed for right-hand cutting applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing inserts. Use the appropriate Torx or hex key as specified by the cutter body manufacturer when tightening the insert screw — follow the cutter body documentation for proper seating procedure. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping screw for wear or contamination before each insert change.
