Sumitomo 14EK327 Milling Insert DL1000 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SUMITOMO 14EK327 is a solid carbide milling insert designed for precision material removal in milling applications. Manufactured to grade DL1000 with a DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating process, this insert delivers consistent cutting performance on non-ferrous metals. It features a parallelogram shape with an included angle of 11 degrees, a right-hand cutting orientation, and a corner radius of 0.016 inches. The insert measures 0.472 inches in length, 0.260 inches in width, and 0.138 inches in thickness. Licensed HVAC technicians and machining professionals working with non-ferrous workpieces will find this insert compatible with the WEX2000 cutter series.

This insert is suited for milling non-ferrous metals in both light and moderate production environments. Its DLC coating supports chip flow and surface finish quality on materials such as aluminum and copper alloys. The 14EK327 is sized to ANSI insert size code 1235 and carries an effective cutting edge length of 12.00 mm, making it appropriate for controlled finishing and semi-finishing passes. It is sold individually and requires a minimum order of 10 units.
