Keo 952-000-313 Side Milling Cutter 4in Hss 24T

Product Description

The KEO 952-000-313 is a straight-tooth side milling cutter designed for peripheral and face milling operations on horizontal milling machines. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright uncoated finish, it measures 4 inches in cutter diameter with a 1/2 inch cutting width and a 1 inch arbor hole. The 24-tooth straight configuration and 10-degree radial rake angle deliver consistent chip formation across a wide range of workpiece materials. Licensed machinists and tool-and-die technicians use this cutter for slotting, straddle milling, and gang milling setups where a precise cutting width is required.

This cutter is suited for use on horizontal knee mills and arbor-style milling machines in both job shop and production environments. The material compatibility codes cover cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless and heat-resistant alloys, carbon and alloy steels, and superalloys, making it a versatile choice for general-purpose metalworking. Its straight tooth geometry makes it a reliable option for slotting operations where axial thrust must be minimized.

Key Features

• 4 inch cutter diameter with 1/2 inch cutting width for precise slot and side milling
• 1 inch arbor hole diameter for standard horizontal milling machine arbors
• High speed steel construction provides toughness across a broad material range
• Straight tooth, zero helix angle design minimizes axial cutting forces
• 10-degree radial rake angle promotes clean chip evacuation
• Bright uncoated finish - ready for use with standard cutting fluids

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style side milling cutter for use on horizontal milling machines accepting a 1 inch arbor diameter. Compatible workpiece material codes include H, K, M, N, P, and S as classified under standard material groupings for milling cutters.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer's arbor assembly procedures. Ensure the milling machine is fully powered down and locked out before mounting or removing the cutter from the arbor. Use proper arbor spacers, collars, and a draw-in bolt torqued to machine specifications to secure the cutter. Inspect the cutter and arbor bore for burrs or contamination before assembly to ensure true runout.
