Kennametal 5656732 Square-shoulder Face Mill 2.5in

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 5656732 is an indexable square-shoulder face mill designed for precision milling operations in metal fabrication and machining environments. With a 2.5-inch cutting diameter and a 1-inch arbor hole diameter, this face mill accepts indexable inserts secured by a clamp and screw holding method. It is built for generating true 90-degree shoulders in ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. This type of tooling is used in CNC machining centers and manual mills where repeatable insert replacement and consistent surface finish are required. Machinists and tooling specialists in job shops, production facilities, and contract machining operations are the primary users.

The 5656732 is suited for face milling and square-shoulder milling applications on vertical and horizontal machining centers. It is appropriate for roughing and semi-finishing passes where a full 90-degree wall is required. The clamp and screw insert retention system provides rigid insert seating, which is important when working at higher feed rates or with difficult-to-machine alloys. This cutter fits standard 1-inch arbor toolholders common in most machining center setups.

Key Features

• 2.5-inch cutting diameter for medium-scale face and shoulder milling
• 1-inch arbor hole diameter fits standard machining center arbors
• Indexable insert design allows fast insert changes without removing the cutter body
• Clamp and screw insert holding method provides rigid, repeatable seating
• Square-shoulder geometry generates true 90-degree walls in a single pass

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style indexable face mill body for use with compatible KENNAMETAL indexable inserts on standard 1-inch arbor toolholding systems. Consult the KENNAMETAL insert selection guide to confirm correct insert geometry and grade for your specific workpiece material and machining parameters.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the control is in an e-stop or locked-out state before mounting or removing the cutter body. Verify arbor and cutter bore are clean and free of chips or burrs before seating the cutter. Follow the machine tool manufacturer torque specifications for the arbor retention drawbar or end-retention fastener as applicable to your setup.
