GM Grade ODKT Milling Inserts are positive-rake indexable carbide inserts for general face milling. The GM geometry supports cutting under general machining conditions, while the eight-edge design allows multiple cutting edges to be used according to the insert configuration. Grade selection depends on workpiece material, cutting conditions and required surface finish.

 

Key Advantages

 


Positive-Rake Geometry
The 43° face milling insert design supports smooth cutting engagement. Actual cutting forces depend on the workpiece, cutter setup and selected cutting parameters.


Eight Usable Cutting Edges
The eight-edge configuration supports economical edge utilization. Index the insert according to the specified procedure and replace it when the applicable cutting edges reach their service limit.


Wiper-Edge Option
The wiper configuration supports surface-finish requirements in suitable milling operations. Final results depend on cutter setup, insert positioning, machine rigidity and feed rate.


Grade Selection
Matching the carbide grade to the workpiece and cutting conditions helps establish a suitable balance between wear resistance and edge strength.

Material Compatibility

 


Steel
Select the carbide grade according to steel composition, hardness, machining allowance and the required surface finish. Confirm the recommended parameters for the selected grade.


Cast Iron
The documented HT300 cast iron application provides a reference for grade and parameter evaluation. Actual suitability depends on material condition, machine rigidity and cutting engagement.


Aluminum Alloys
Confirm the available insert geometry and grade for aluminum machining. Edge sharpness, chip control and surface-finish requirements should guide configuration selection.

 

Applications

 


Face Milling
Use the insert for compatible face milling operations where the cutter pocket, workpiece material and required surface finish match the selected configuration.


Finishing and Semi-Finishing
Evaluate the positive-rake geometry for finishing and semi-finishing work. Surface quality depends on the wiper configuration, feed rate, runout and machine stability.


General Production
For recurring production, maintain a consistent insert model, carbide grade and cutting setup. Record the approved parameters to support repeatable process conditions.

 

Insert Selection Guide

 


Match the Model
Check the complete insert code and geometry designation against the product drawing. Confirm all critical dimensions before substituting an insert.


Verify Cutter Fit
Check the insert pocket, seating surface, hole dimensions and clamping arrangement against the cutter specification. Correct seating supports stable installation.


Select the Grade
Provide the workpiece material, hardness and machining operation to identify an appropriate carbide grade.


Set Cutting Parameters
Use the grade-specific recommendations as the starting point for cutting speed, feed per tooth and depth of cut. Adjustments depend on cutter diameter, engagement, machine rigidity and workpiece stability.

 

Customization Options

 


Dimensional Requirements
