Kennametal 5655172 Milling Insert X500 Solid Carbide Xdlt

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 5655172 is a solid carbide milling insert in the X500 grade, designed for indexable milling operations in demanding metal-cutting applications. This single-sided, square-shaped XDLT-style insert features a triple-layer CVD coating — TiN, TiC, TiN — applied to a solid carbide substrate for wear resistance and thermal stability. It carries a 0.047-inch corner radius, a 15-degree relief angle, a positive rake geometry, and four usable cutting edges per insert. The insert is held in the cutter body via screw clamping and is suited for use by machinists and toolroom technicians running indexable face mills and shoulder mills in production environments.

This insert is engineered for cutting steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium — material application codes P, M, and S. It is a right-hand insert and is compatible with the 7792VXD09 cutter series. The D411 chip breaker geometry is matched to the positive rake design, promoting controlled chip evacuation in medium to high feed-rate milling passes. Typical applications include face milling, shoulder milling, and pocket milling on CNC machining centers in both job-shop and production settings.

Key Features

• X500 grade solid carbide with CVD-applied TiN/TiC/TiN multilayer coating for extended tool life on ferrous and high-temperature alloys
• Square XDLT insert style with 90-degree included angle and positive rake for reduced cutting forces
• Four cutting edges per insert maximizes cost-per-edge value in indexable tooling programs
• 0.047-inch corner radius (3/64 inch) reduces insert chipping at entry and exit
• 15-degree relief angle supports clearance in tight shoulder and face milling geometries
• Screw-held mounting with honed cutting edge for predictable seating and edge consistency

Compatibility

Designed for use with the 7792VXD09 cutter series. ANSI and ISO code XDLT090412ERD411. Fits toolholders and cutter bodies designed for the XDLT 09 insert size with a 3/8-inch inscribed circle. Verify seat geometry and screw torque specification in the cutter body documentation before use.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the correct torque driver specified by the cutter body manufacturer for the clamping screw — do not overtighten. Inspect the insert pocket seat for chips or debris before seating a new insert to ensure full contact and repeatable runout.
