Kennametal 5673338 High-feed Face Mill 3 in 4 Insert

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 5673338 is an indexable high-feed face mill designed for aggressive material removal in milling operations. Built around the 5720VZ series platform, this cutter accepts four ZDET16M-style inserts and delivers a maximum depth of cut of 0.63 inches. The 3-inch cutting diameter and 1-inch arbor hole make it compatible with standard milling machine spindles and arbor setups. It is installed and operated by machinists and tool-and-die professionals in CNC milling environments where high-feed, low-depth-of-cut strategies are used to maximize metal removal rates while reducing spindle load.

This face mill suits high-feed milling applications in job shops, production machining cells, and toolrooms. The 5720VZ series cutter style designation C5720VZ16-A3.00Z4R identifies its insert pocket geometry and feed-rate capability. It is suited for face milling operations on steel, cast iron, and similar workpiece materials where maximizing table feed rates is the primary strategy. The four-insert configuration balances cutting force and chip load distribution across the tool body.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following standard machine tool lockout and energy-isolation procedures before mounting or removing the cutter. Ensure the arbor and spindle bore are clean and free of debris before seating the tool. Insert pockets and clamping screws should be inspected for wear or damage before indexing or replacing inserts. Follow the insert manufacturer torque guidelines for clamping screws using a calibrated torque driver.
