The Korloy SDXT09M405R-MM PC3700 is a high-performance square carbide milling insert designed for steel machining. With a strong substrate, PVD high-hardness lubricative coating, and MM chipbreaker, it ensures longer tool life, reliable chip control, and excellent surface finish in high-feed and high-speed cutting.
Take your steel milling to the next level with Korloy’s SDXT09M405R-MM insert in the PC3700 grade. This insert is engineered for high productivity, reduced downtime, and lower cost per component — making it a trusted choice in automotive, aerospace, die & mold, and general engineering industries.
Insert Geometry: Square insert, right-handed clamping, ~0.5 mm corner radius
Chip Breaker: MM type – designed for stable chip evacuation in medium cutting conditions
Grade / Coating: PC3700 with PVD high-hardness lubricative coating → superior wear resistance & reduced build-up edge
Applications: Optimized for milling steel – handles continuous and interrupted cuts at high feeds & speeds
Longer Tool Life → Resistant to chipping & breakage under heavy load
Higher Productivity → Enables faster cutting speeds & deeper cuts with stability
Better Surface Finish → Smooth coating reduces BUE & ensures quality finish
Lower Downtime → Fewer insert changes = lower tooling cost per part
