At CNC Tools Depot, we’re proud to present the Kennametal APMT1604PDR K00035 – a benchmark carbide insert built for serious machining operations. With its engineered geometry, premium grade and advanced coating, you can expect longer tool life, faster cutting and lower cost per part.
Key Features & Specifications:
-
Insert type: ISO-parallelogram, family APMT1604PDR (typically ~16 mm cutting edge length)
Grade: Kennametal’s premium grade compatible with tough applications (note: the datasheet for APMT1604PDR cites grade WU20PM in one source)
Corner radius: approx R 0.8 mm (0.031 in) for general purpose milling and good edge strength. -
Coating: K00035 – specialised coating for extended wear resistance across steels, stainless steels and high-hardness materials.
-
Applications: Designed for shoulder milling, face milling, pocketing, ramping, plunging operations in milling tool-holders (common D30‐D40 tool bodies)
Multi‐material capability: Excellent for carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, high-hardness (> HRC) work-pieces thanks to the advanced coating and chipbreaker design.
Why It’s a Best Seller:
-
Minimises downtime: The durable grade + coating combination means fewer insert changes and more uninterrupted production time.
-
Superior surface finish: The controlled geometry and premium coating give consistent finish results even in tougher materials.
-
High wear resistance: The K00035 coating is designed to resist wear and edge chipping, extending insert life and reducing cost per component.
-
Broad versatility: One insert works across multiple materials and operations, simplifying inventory and tool-management.
