Kennametal 5672872 Square-shoulder Face Mill 2.5in 5 Flute

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 5672872 is an indexable square-shoulder face mill designed for high-productivity milling operations on machining centers and CNC mill setups. Built on the 5720VZ16 series platform, this cutter accepts five ZDET 16M5..721 inserts secured via clamp and screw holding for repeatable insert positioning. It features a 2.5-inch maximum cutting diameter, a 1-inch arbor hole, and a 0-degree lead angle that produces true 90-degree shoulders on workpiece faces. Through-coolant capability routes cutting fluid directly to the cutting zone, improving chip evacuation and extending insert life in steel and ferrous materials. The cutter body is constructed from steel and weighs approximately 1.31 pounds.

This face mill is suited for square-shoulder roughing and semi-finishing passes on ferrous workpieces in both job-shop and production environments. The right-hand cutting direction and 16 mm maximum depth of cut make it a practical choice for full-width face milling and step milling on horizontal or vertical machining centers. Installation requires a compatible 1-inch arbor or adapter. The five-flute configuration supports balanced chip load distribution at moderate to high feed rates.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Always power down and lock out the machining center spindle before mounting or removing the cutter. Verify arbor runout and torque all fasteners to the machine and toolholder manufacturer specifications before initiating a cut. Confirm through-coolant port alignment with the machine spindle coolant supply before operation.
