CME 5″ 90° Indexable Face Mill w/ R8 Arbor, APKT1604 Inserts Included, 7 Flutes

Description

Product Overview

This CME 5″ 90° Indexable Face Mill is engineered for high-precision milling operations. Featuring a robust R8 arbor and pre-installed APKT1604 coated carbide inserts, it delivers exceptional cutting performance on steel materials. With its 7-flute design and 90-degree entering angle, this tool enables deeper cuts with reduced axial forces — ideal for machining thin-walled components or square shoulder milling applications. The 1-1/2″ mounting bore ensures compatibility across various industrial setups.

Usage

This face mill is designed for use in heavy-duty machining environments such as manufacturing plants, machine shops, and fabrication centers. It’s particularly suited for operations requiring square shoulder milling or deep slotting with minimal tool deflection. The low axial forces make it ideal for thin-walled parts where stability is critical. Operators will find this tool versatile across multiple materials including carbon steel, alloy steels, and stainless steel.

FAQ

What materials is this face mill suitable for?

This face mill is optimized for cutting carbon steel, alloy steels, and stainless steel. Its coated carbide inserts provide excellent performance on these materials with minimal tool wear.

Can I use other inserts besides APKT1604?

The holder is designed to be compatible with all APKT1604 inserts for guaranteed fitment and optimal cutting performance. Other insert types may not align properly or deliver consistent results.

What’s the mounting bore size of this face mill?

This tool features a 1-1/2″ mounting bore, compatible with standard R8 arbors used in industrial milling machines.

Is this suitable for thin-walled components?

Yes. The low axial forces generated by the 90-degree entering angle make it ideal for machining thin-walled parts without risk of deflection or damage.

What’s the cutting diameter and flute count?

The cutting diameter is 5 inches with a 7-flute configuration, providing high chip removal efficiency and smooth surface finishes on machined components.
