Kennametal 5654896 Milling Insert X500 Square Xdlt

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 5654896 is a solid carbide milling insert in the X500 grade, designed for high-performance metal removal in demanding milling applications. It features a square XDLT insert style with a 90-degree included angle, a 0.031-inch corner radius, and a CVD-applied TiN/TiC/TiN multilayer coating for extended tool life and heat resistance. The insert measures 3/8 inch in both length and width, with a thickness of 0.187 inches and a maximum depth of cut of 0.3379 inches. It carries 4 cutting edges on a single-sided body with a positive rake geometry and a honed cutting edge. Licensed machinists and CNC operators install this insert into compatible milling tool bodies.

This insert is suited for milling steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium in both roughing and semi-finishing operations. The D41 chip breaker geometry supports chip control across these material groups. It is a right-hand insert intended for use in cutter body series 7792VXD09. The ANSI and ISO designation is XDLT090408ERD41, and the insert size code is 090408. Typical applications include face milling and shoulder milling in production or job-shop environments where consistent tool-life performance across difficult workpiece materials is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing inserts. Seat the insert fully against the pocket locating surfaces before tightening the clamping screw to avoid insert rock or chatter. Do not reuse a damaged or worn insert pocket screw, as proper clamping force depends on screw integrity.
