Kennametal 5545061 Milling Insert KCPM40 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 5545061 is a solid carbide milling insert carrying the ISO designation EDPT140408PDSRGD2 and manufactured to the KCPM40 grade. It features a parallelogram shape with a 70-degree included angle and is finished with a dual PVD coating of TiAlN and AlCrN for extended tool life in demanding milling applications. The insert measures 0.688 inches in length and 0.330 inches in width, with a thickness of 0.1772 inches and a corner radius of 0.031 inches. Screw-type holding secures it firmly in the toolholder pocket. This insert is intended for use by machinists and tool-and-die professionals running milling operations on CNC or manual milling equipment.

The EDPT140408PDSRGD2 is suited for face milling and shoulder milling operations where a right-hand cutting configuration is required. The GD2 chip breaker geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation and helps manage heat at the cutting edge. The 15-degree rake angle and 15-degree relief angle support aggressive material removal while maintaining edge stability. This insert is appropriate for production environments processing ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials where PVD-coated carbide grades are specified.

Key Features

• Solid carbide substrate with KCPM40 grade designation for wear resistance in milling applications
• Dual PVD coating combining TiAlN and AlCrN for thermal and oxidation resistance
• GD2 chip breaker geometry promotes positive chip control and reduced cutting forces
• 15-degree rake angle and 15-degree relief angle for efficient material removal
• Right-hand cutting orientation with screw-type insert holding method
• Corner radius of 0.031 inches (1/32 inch) for controlled edge blending on milled surfaces

Compatibility

Designed for use in EDPT-series milling toolholders and cutter bodies that accept size 1408 inserts with a screw-type holding method and a 0.1339-inch hole diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing inserts. Use the correct Torx or hex key to torque the clamping screw to the toolholder manufacturer specification — do not overtighten, as this can fracture the carbide substrate. Inspect the pocket seat and screw threads for debris or wear before installing a fresh insert.
