The Korloy SDXT130508R-MM PC3700 carbide insert is engineered to deliver high performance in steel milling. Built on a tough substrate and finished with a lubricative PVD coating, this insert resists flank and crater wear, chipping, and thermal cracking—even under high feed, high-depth, or interrupted machining of steel and pre-hardened steel. The square SDXT geometry with “MM” chip breaker ensures good chip control, stability in heavy cuts, and strong edges for durability. It gives excellent surface finish, reduced downtime, and very favorable cost per component. Whether you're in automotive, die & mold, aerospace, or general engineering sectors, this insert helps push productivity while keeping tooling costs in check.

Key Features

Key Features & Specs:

  • Grade: PC3700, a PVD-coated, high toughness substrate specialized for steel milling.

    Coating: hard & lubricative PVD coating with a smooth surface to reduce friction, minimize built-up edge, and improve chip evacuation. 

  • Geometry: square insert (SDXT) with right-hand orientation (“R”), chip breaker “MM” pattern; suitable corner radius as per “08” in the code for moderate edge strength. (13.5 mm inscribed circle, approx 5.56 mm thickness, corner radius ~0.8 mm

    Primary Application: milling steel (including continuous, interrupted, high feed, high speed, deep machining); works well even on pre-hardened steel.

Why It’s a Best Seller

Why It’s a Best Seller:

  • Longer tool life & less downtime: PC3700 resists flank and crater wear, chipping, breakage—even under heavy loads and interrupted cuts. 

  • Better surface finish: minimized built-up edge and smoother chip evacuation give cleaner cuts, less rework. 

  • High productivity: allows higher feeds and speeds, more aggressive depths of cut with stability. Less frequent insert change-overs mean more machining per shift

Industries

Industries & Use Cases:
Perfect for sectors working heavily with steel and requiring precision + productivity:

  • Automotive (components, transmission parts)

  • Aerospace (structural steel, fixtures)

  • Die & Mold (steel dies, pre-hardened tool steel)

  • General Engineering / Heavy Fabrication (shafts, gears, frames)

Frequently Asked Questions

PC3700 is Korloy’s milling grade specialized for steel: tough substrate + PVD-coating that reduces wear and improves tool life under demanding milling conditions.

It is ideal for milling steel: continuous & interrupted cuts, high feeds and speeds, deep cut milling, pre-hardened steel, etc.

Square shape (SDXT), right-hand, chipbreaker type “MM”. Its inscribed circle is approx 13.5 mm, thickness about 5.56 mm, and a moderate corner radius (~0.8 mm) for balanced edge strength.

PC3700 shows significantly improved wear resistance (flank & crater wear), better chipping & breakage resistance, especially under heavy loads, high feed/speed or interrupted cuts. Overall longer tool life and higher stability

Automotive, die & mold, aerospace and general engineering industries machining steel (carbon, alloy, pre-hardened) will benefit most. Works well even for components that experience interrupted cutting or require high surface finish.
