Kennametal 6172348 Milling Insert EDPT180508PDSRGD KCSM40

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 6172348 is a solid carbide milling insert in the EDPT series, designed for indexable face and shoulder milling operations. This single-sided, right-hand insert carries an ISO designation of EDPT180508PDSRGD and is manufactured to KCSM40 grade with a PVD-applied TiAlN plus TiN dual coating. The parallelogram insert shape with a 70-degree included angle and a positive 15-degree rake angle promotes free cutting action and reduced cutting forces. A chamfered and honed cutting edge style adds edge stability during interrupted cuts. Licensed machinists and CNC operators typically specify this insert for production milling on steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium.

This insert is engineered for machining steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium, covering primary workpiece material codes P, M, and S. It is sized at insert size code 1808 and is compatible with the KENNAMETAL Mill 1-18 cutter series. The GD chip breaker geometry supports consistent chip control across a range of depths of cut and feed rates. The screw-held mounting method is standard for this insert style. Typical applications include face milling, shoulder milling, and ramping operations in production and job-shop environments on CNC machining centers.

Key Features

• KCSM40 grade solid carbide substrate with PVD TiAlN plus TiN dual coating for heat and wear resistance
• Positive 15-degree rake angle reduces cutting forces on steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium
• GD chip breaker for reliable chip evacuation across moderate to aggressive feed conditions
• Chamfered and honed cutting edge style balances edge sharpness with micro-chipping resistance
• Right-hand, single-sided insert with two cutting edges maximizes tooling value per insert
• Screw-held mounting for secure, repeatable seating in compatible cutter bodies

Compatibility

Designed for use in the KENNAMETAL Mill 1-18 cutter series. Insert size code 1808 with ISO code EDPT180508PDSRGD and ANSI code EP1808S. Screw-held mounting method required.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified CNC machinists or tooling technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the appropriate Torx or hex key to seat the clamping screw to the cutter body manufacturer torque specification for this insert size. Inspect the insert pocket and seating surface for chips or debris before mounting to ensure accurate and stable insert location.
