Walter 5623748 SNHX1205ANN-K88 WK10 Milling Insert

Product Description

The WALTER 5623748 is a solid carbide milling insert carrying the ANSI/ISO designation SNHX1205ANN-K88 in grade WK10. It features a square shape with a 90-degree included angle, a negative rake geometry set at 25 degrees, and eight usable cutting edges on a double-sided body. The insert runs uncoated (bright finish), making it optimized for non-ferrous metal cutting where edge sharpness and low built-up edge risk are priorities. Thickness measures 0.218 inches, inscribed circle is 0.500 inches, and maximum depth of cut reaches 0.500 inches. Screw-style clamping holds the insert securely in the pocket during high-feed milling passes.

This insert is intended for milling applications in non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, copper, and brass alloys. The K88 chip breaker geometry and sharp cutting edge style are selected for these softer, gummy materials where aggressive rake and keen edges reduce cutting forces and improve surface finish. It is installed by machinists and CNC tooling technicians in production and job-shop environments running face mills, shoulder mills, and high-feed cutters requiring SNHX-series pockets.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction, uncoated bright finish for non-ferrous metal compatibility
• Eight cutting edges per insert (double-sided) for extended tooling economy
• Negative rake at 25 degrees with sharp cutting edge style for reduced cutting forces
• K88 chip breaker geometry tuned for non-ferrous and N-grade workpiece materials
• Screw-mount insert holding method for positive, repeatable seating in the pocket
• Meets ANSI and ISO standards; neutral hand orientation for flexible cutter layouts

Compatibility

Designed for use in WALTER cutter series F2010 and M5009 milling bodies that accept SNHX-series insert pockets. Insert size code 1205 with a 0.500-inch inscribed circle determines pocket fit.

Installation Notes

Insert installation and indexing should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician with the spindle powered down and locked out. Use the correct torx or hex key to the cutter body manufacturer's specified pocket-screw torque procedure. Inspect the pocket seat and clamping screw threads for chips or damage before seating a new insert. Never use a worn or damaged insert that shows chipping beyond the intended cutting edge.
