Kennametal 6172130 Milling Insert EDPT140412PDSRGD KCSM40

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 6172130 is a solid carbide milling insert identified by ISO code EDPT140412PDSRGD and manufactured to KCSM40 grade, designed for high-performance face and shoulder milling operations. This single-sided, right-hand parallelogram insert features a PVD-applied TiAlN plus TiN dual-layer coating that improves wear resistance and extends tool life in demanding cut conditions. With a positive rake angle of 15 degrees, a chamfered and honed cutting edge style, and a GD chip breaker geometry, it delivers controlled chip formation and reduced cutting forces. The insert measures 0.6882 inches in length and 0.3288 inches in width, with a thickness of 0.1772 inches. It mounts via screw-hold and is compatible with the Mill 1-14 cutter series. Licensed machinists and tooling technicians install this insert on CNC milling platforms.

This insert is intended for machining steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium workpiece materials, corresponding to ISO material codes P, M, and S. It is well suited to both roughing and finishing passes where consistent chip control and coating durability are required. The KCSM40 grade is formulated to maintain edge integrity at elevated cutting temperatures common in superalloy and titanium operations. Typical applications include aerospace component profiling, automotive structural milling, and general precision metalworking where parallelogram insert geometry is specified. The insert is sold in a minimum order quantity of 5 units, packaged individually.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed for use with the Mill 1-14 cutter series. Compatible with toolholders and cutter bodies specifying EDPT series inserts in size 1412. Verify cutter body insert pocket specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing inserts. Use the correct torque driver for the insert screw to ensure proper clamping without over-torquing the screw thread. Inspect the insert pocket and seating surface for chips or debris before installation to ensure full, flat contact.
