Kennametal 6185769 Milling Insert XPLT060308ERD41 KCSM40

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 6185769 is a solid carbide milling insert carrying the manufacturer designation XPLT060308ERD41 in grade KCSM40. It features a square shape with a 90-degree included angle, a positive rake geometry, and an 11-degree relief angle. The insert is PVD-coated with a TiAlN and TiN multilayer finish, which supports extended tool life in demanding cutting applications. With four cutting edges per insert, it is held in place by a screw-mount method and is designed for right-hand cutting. Licensed machinists and CNC tooling technicians install and index this insert during face milling and shoulder milling operations on metalcutting machines.

This insert is engineered for machining steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium, corresponding to ISO material groups P, M, and S. It fits the KENNAMETAL 7792VXP06 cutter series and uses the D41 chip breaker geometry. The XPLT060308ERD41 designation conforms to both ANSI and ISO insert standards. Typical applications include high-speed face milling and shoulder milling in aerospace, energy, and general metalworking environments where heat-resistant alloys and stainless grades are common workpiece materials.

Key Features

• Solid carbide substrate with PVD-applied TiAlN and TiN coating for heat and wear resistance
• Four usable cutting edges per insert, reducing per-edge tooling cost
• Positive rake geometry with 11-degree relief angle reduces cutting forces
• D41 chip breaker optimized for steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium
• Screw-mount insert holding method for secure, repeatable indexing
• Conforms to both ANSI and ISO insert standards (ANSI: XPPT060308ERD41, ISO: XPLT060308ERD41)

Compatibility

Compatible with the KENNAMETAL 7792VXP06 cutter series. Fits toolholders accepting XPPT-series square milling inserts with insert size code 060308 and a screw-mount holding method.

Installation Notes

Installation and indexing should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician with the machine fully powered down and locked out per LOTO procedures. Use a calibrated torque wrench and the correct Torx or insert screw driver to seat the insert screw without over-torquing, which can fracture the carbide body. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping screw for wear or debris before seating a new insert. Confirm correct insert orientation for right-hand cutting before resuming operation.
