Kennametal 5667498 Milling Insert ZDET16M530FR721 GH1

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 5667498 is a solid carbide milling insert carrying the ANSI/ISO designation ZDET16M530FR721 in manufacturer grade GH1. It is a parallelogram-shaped, single-sided insert with a positive rake geometry and a sharp cutting edge style, engineered for high-precision milling operations. The insert measures 0.906 inches in length, 0.443 inches in width, and 0.197 inches in thickness, with a corner radius of 0.125 inches. The uncoated micrograin carbide construction delivers a consistent cutting edge without the variable thermal layers of coated grades. Licensed machinists and CNC mill operators install this insert into compatible screw-held toolholders.

This insert is intended for milling cast iron and non-ferrous metals in both production and job-shop environments. The 721 chip breaker geometry promotes controlled chip evacuation when working in these material families. The right-hand orientation and 15-degree relief angle suit conventional milling setups on horizontal or vertical machining centers. The insert is compatible with the Kennametal 5720VZD16 cutter series as specified by the manufacturer. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 5 pieces.

Key Features

• ANSI/ISO code ZDET16M530FR721 ensures cross-reference accuracy for direct replacement sourcing
• Micrograin solid carbide substrate with bright uncoated finish for sharp, consistent edge performance
• Positive rake geometry with 15-degree relief angle reduces cutting forces on cast iron and non-ferrous workpieces
• 721 chip breaker designed for controlled chip formation in K and N material grade applications
• Right-hand, single-sided parallelogram insert with 2 cutting edges and screw-lock holding method
• Meets ANSI and ISO standards for insert geometry and dimensional tolerances

Compatibility

Compatible with the Kennametal 5720VZD16 cutter series. Designed for use in screw-held milling toolholders accepting ZDET series inserts in size 16M530. Suitable for machining cast iron and non-ferrous metals.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. The machine spindle must be fully stopped and locked out before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the manufacturer-specified torx or hex key to seat the clamping screw to snug without over-torquing the carbide insert. Inspect the insert pocket and seating surfaces for chips or debris before installing a new insert to ensure proper seating and edge registration.
