Korloy TPXR2204PDTR-FM PC3700: Torx locking milling insert, PC3700 grade—engineered for aggressive, high-efficiency steel milling.
"Maximise your milling output—Korloy TPXR2204PDTR-FM PC3700 delivers longer tool life, faster machining, and smoother chip evacuation!"
The Korloy TPXR2204PDTR-FM PC3700 is a Torx™-style semi-finishing to finishing milling insert, optimized for aggressive steel milling. Using Korloy’s advanced PC3700 grade—a smooth-surfaced PVD-coated carbide—it combines superior toughness with chip-lubricating properties, enabling high feeds, deep cuts, and stable performance even under interrupted and high-speed conditions. Its design ensures fewer tool changes and high productivity across sectors like automotive, aerospace, die & mold, and general engineering—delivering both precision and efficiency.
Geometry & System: TPXR-2204PDTR-FM – Torx™ locking milling insert for ISO milling systems; excellent for face and peripheral milling with precision and rigidity.
Grade & Coating: PC3700 – A tough PVD-coated grade specially developed for steel milling. Offers high hardness with lubricating properties and a smooth surface to reduce chip adhesion and wear.
Cutting Applications: Tailored for high-feed, high-speed milling of steel, capable of handling deep cuts, interrupted cuts, and even pre-hardened steels with stability.
Extraordinary Tool Life & Productivity: The PC3700’s robust substrate and smooth PVD surface minimize chipping and thermal cracking—even under heavy loads—resulting in sustained tool life and efficiency.
Superior Surface Finish & Chip Control: The lubricative coating ensures chips evacuate seamlessly, reducing buildup and enabling cleaner cuts with minimal downtime.
Versatile Performance: Designed to work across varied steel types and cutting scenarios—continuous, interrupted, high-feed, and high-speed milling alike.
Automotive — High-speed milling of shafts, gears, and steel housings
Aerospace — Precision milling of steel frames and components
Die & Mold — Heavy milling of hardened steel molds and dies
General Engineering — Reliable performance for steel-heavy milling across production environments
PC3700 features a tough, lubricative PVD coating and smooth surface designed to resist chipping, build-up, and thermal cracking—especially under heavy, high-speed cutting.
Perfect for high-feed, high-speed, and deep milling operations on steel—whether continuous or interrupted—delivering both speed and stability.
It achieves cleaner surface finishes thanks to smooth chip evacuation and a coating that reduces built-up edge formation.
The Torx™-style TPXR format offers a secure clamp and optimal insert seating, increasing rigidity and reducing chatter during high-force milling.
Compared to predecessors like PC3500 or PC3600, PC3700 brings 25–40% improved life and productivity in steel milling—making it a smart upgrade.
