Kennametal 5658170 Indexable High-feed Face Mill

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 5658170 is an indexable high-feed face mill designed for high-metal-removal-rate milling operations in machining environments. With a 1.5-inch cutting diameter and a 0.5-inch arbor hole, this face mill accepts indexable inserts that are swapped out without removing the body from the spindle, reducing downtime during production runs. It is suited for face milling operations on ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials in CNC machining centers and manual mills. Installation and insert changes are typically performed by machinists and toolroom technicians familiar with indexable tooling systems.

This face mill is appropriate for shops running light to medium face milling passes where high feed rates at shallower depths of cut are required. The compact 1.5-inch cutting diameter makes it well suited for smaller spindle bores and lighter-duty machining centers. It is commonly used in job shops, production facilities, and tool rooms where indexable tooling is standard practice. No specific compatible machine models or insert grades were provided in the product data; consult KENNAMETAL tooling documentation for recommended insert grades and feed parameters.

Key Features

• 1.5-inch cutting diameter for compact, precise face milling applications
• 0.5-inch arbor hole fits standard arbor and adapter configurations
• Indexable insert design allows in-spindle insert changes without removing the body
• High-feed geometry supports aggressive feed rates at reduced axial depth of cut
• Sold individually as a single cutter body unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style indexable face mill body for CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 0.5-inch arbor hole. Consult KENNAMETAL documentation for compatible insert grades, seat screws, and adapter specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before mounting or removing the cutter body. Ensure the arbor and cutter body mating surfaces are clean and free of chips before assembly. Follow the machine tool manufacturer torque specifications for drawbar and arbor retention hardware.
