Kyocera 8832915 APET160431 KW10 Carbide Milling Insert

Product Description

The KYOCERA 8832915 is a solid carbide milling insert carrying the APET160431 insert designation and KW10 manufacturer grade. This single-sided, right-hand parallelogram insert is designed for use in face milling and end milling operations where precision and edge consistency matter. It features a positive rake geometry, an 11-degree relief angle, and a honed cutting edge style, giving it clean cutting action on non-ferrous metals and cast iron. The insert measures 0.375 inches wide, 0.1880 inches thick, and 0.6299 inches in maximum depth of cut, with a 0.125-inch corner radius. It is uncoated and ships as a single insert, with a minimum order quantity of 10.

This insert is suited for machining non-ferrous metals such as aluminum alloys as well as cast iron in both production and job-shop environments. It is compatible with KYOCERA cutter series FMAL, EM-AL, and CM-AL, making it a direct fit for aluminum-optimized face mills and end mills. The insert is held in place by a screw-on mounting method. Typical applications include finishing and semi-finishing passes where controlled chip formation and consistent surface finish are required. This insert is specified by machinists, toolroom technicians, and CNC setup operators working with carbide tooling systems.

• APET parallelogram insert style with positive rake for reduced cutting forces
• 11-degree relief angle and honed cutting edge for clean, controlled cuts
• 0.125-inch corner radius reduces edge chipping on entry and exit
• Right-hand, single-sided insert with 2 cutting edges per insert
• Screw-on insert holding method for repeatable indexing and secure seating

Compatibility

Compatible with KYOCERA cutter series FMAL, EM-AL, and CM-AL. Conforms to ANSI code APET160431KW10 and ISO code APET160431. Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard supply insert for toolholders accepting APET160431 geometry inserts.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is locked out before indexing or replacing inserts. Seat the insert fully against the pocket locating surfaces before tightening the clamping screw to avoid seating errors. Handle carbide inserts with care to prevent chipping on the cutting edges prior to use.
