Kennametal 6754972 Square End Mill 5 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 6754972 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for high-performance material removal in aluminum and non-ferrous metal applications. Part of the KOR5 series, it features a 10.00 mm (0.3937 inches) cutting diameter with five flutes and a 35-degree helix angle that promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. The uncoated bright finish and K600 carbide grade are matched to the demands of non-ferrous workpiece materials. This is a single-end, center-cutting tool with a chipbreaker geometry, suitable for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling operations. Machining professionals and CNC programmers in job shops and production environments are the primary users.

The 6754972 is intended for use on aluminum alloys and other non-ferrous metals, classified under primary workpiece material code N. With a 30.00 mm length of cut and a 75.00 mm overall length, it fits standard tool holders using a 10.00 mm (0.3937 inches) shank diameter. The right-hand spiral flute and right-hand cut configuration match the standard spindle rotation of most vertical and horizontal machining centers. No coolant-through capability is present, so flood or mist coolant at the external nozzle is the typical cooling strategy for this tool.

Key Features

• KOR5 series solid carbide construction in K600 grade for rigidity and wear resistance in non-ferrous cutting
• Five-flute design with 35-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces
• Chipbreaker geometry helps manage chip length during high-feed aluminum milling
• Center-cutting capability allows plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole
• Bright/uncoated finish suited to aluminum and non-ferrous materials where coating adhesion can be a concern
• Single-end tool with right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard CNC spindle use

Compatibility

Designed for use with aluminum and non-ferrous workpiece materials (material code N) in standard CNC milling applications requiring a 10.00 mm shank diameter and ER or milling chuck toolholders. No extended-reach or variable-index configuration is present.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Secure the shank fully within the toolholder to the recommended gauge-line depth and torque the retention mechanism according to the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Confirm spindle direction is set to right-hand rotation before running. Inspect the cutting edges under magnification before each use to check for chipping or wear, as solid carbide tools can fail without visible macro-damage.
