Kennametal 5682563 Round Milling Insert GH1 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 5682563 is a round solid carbide milling insert in the RPEX series, grade GH1, designed for high-performance face and profile milling operations. It features a bright, uncoated micrograin carbide substrate with a positive rake geometry and a sharp cutting edge style. The inscribed circle measures 0.472 inches (12.00 mm), and the insert thickness is 0.187 inches (4.76 mm). With four cutting edges and a neutral hand orientation, this insert is suited for productive metal removal where edge sharpness and substrate toughness are priorities. It is installed by machining professionals and tooling technicians in production and job-shop environments.

This insert is engineered primarily for cutting cast iron and non-ferrous metals, making it well suited for automotive, aerospace, and general manufacturing applications where those materials are common. The RPEX 1204 form factor fits into compatible milling cutter bodies and is held in place by a screw clamp. The 701X4 chip breaker geometry supports controlled chip formation in these material categories. It is a single-sided insert with an included angle of 360 degrees, consistent with its round shape. The cutter series compatibility listed for this insert is the 7713VR12.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed by qualified machining technicians or tooling setters. Before replacing inserts, power down and lock out the machine spindle per applicable machine safety procedures. Use the correct torque driver for the clamping screw to avoid seat damage or insert fracture — refer to the cutter body manufacturer torque specification for the specific tool body in use. Inspect the pocket seat and clamping screw for wear or damage before seating a new insert.
