Walter 8284965 Milling Insert Indexable

Product Description

The WALTER 8284965 is an indexable milling insert designed for use in milling cutter bodies that accept replaceable carbide or coated inserts. Indexable inserts allow machinists and tooling technicians to rotate or swap cutting edges without replacing the entire tool body, reducing downtime on milling operations. This insert is sold individually and is classified under the indexable milling insert category, making it a direct single-piece replacement or stocking unit for tooling cribs and machine shops.

Indexable milling inserts of this type are used in face milling, shoulder milling, and similar metal removal operations on CNC machining centers and manual mills. They are suited for ferrous and non-ferrous material removal depending on the grade and geometry of the insert. Tooling technicians and machinists performing insert changes on production or job-shop equipment are the primary installers of this part.

Key Features

• Indexable design allows multiple cutting edges per insert, extending tool life
• Sold as a single insert, enabling precise quantity ordering for tooling inventory
• Classified as a milling insert under UNSPSC code 23291601

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement milling insert for use in compatible WALTER milling cutter bodies and toolholders that accept this insert geometry. Consult the WALTER tooling catalog to confirm cutter body compatibility before ordering.

Installation Notes

Indexable inserts are installed and replaced by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Use the correct torque screwdriver or insert key specified for the cutter body to avoid damaging the insert seat or clamping screw. Handle inserts with care, as cutting edges are sharp and carbide is brittle.
