WDMW080520ZTR High-Feed Milling Inserts
WDMW080520ZTR is a compact carbide insert for shallow-depth, high-feed rough milling. Compare its catalogue dimensions, D7320 grade and the SKS08 shank-cutter and face-mill platform before selecting a replacement.
What Is a WDMW080520 High-Feed Insert?
The WDMW080520 platform is designed for productive rough milling at shallow axial engagement. It is intended for cutter bodies that use a small entering-angle geometry to redirect more cutting force toward the spindle axis.
Shallow Axial Depth
The insert catalogue lists APMT 0.7 mm. High-feed milling uses small axial depth rather than conventional deep shoulder cutting.
High Table-Feed Direction
Small entering-angle geometry can support a higher feed per tooth, but the starting value still depends on machine power, rigidity and engagement.
SKS08 Tool Platform
The supplied tool catalogue includes SKS08 shank cutters and face mills for the WDMW080520 size platform.

Match every dimension and the complete suffix before replacing an existing insert.
| Complete Model | IC | T | D | RE | APMT | Grade | Tool Direction |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| WDMW080520ZTR | 12.9 mm | 5.5 mm | 5.0 mm | 2.0 mm | 0.7 mm | D7320 | SKS08 size platform; verify ZTR/ZER |
High Feed Does Not Mean Deep Cutting
A high-feed cutter uses a small entering angle so the chip is thin relative to the programmed feed per tooth. This allows a higher feed while keeping the axial depth shallow.
More Axial Force
A greater share of the cutting force is directed toward the spindle axis, which can help selected long-overhang and cavity-roughing setups.
Small ap, Higher fz
The catalogue APMT value is 0.7 mm. Do not treat the insert as a deep-cut shoulder-milling insert.
Setup Still Controls Results
Reduce the starting feed for poor rigidity, long overhang, heavy interruption, weak workholding or limited chip evacuation.
D7320 Grade and Wear Checklist
D7320 is the only grade listed for WDMW080520ZTR in the supplied insert catalogue. Confirm the complete material recommendation before setting production data.
Stable Cutting
Monitor gradual flank wear and surface quality.
Interrupted Cutting
Check for edge chipping and impact damage.
Stainless Steel
Watch for built-up edge, thermal cracking and chip adhesion.
Long Overhang
Reduce initial feed and verify runout, holder rigidity and pocket condition.
WDMW05, 06, 08 and 10 Platforms Are Not Interchangeable
The SKS family uses different WDMW insert sizes. Match the platform number in the cutter body to the correct insert family.
SKS08 Shank Cutters and Face Mills
The SKS08 range covers Ø32–40 mm shank cutters and Ø50–100 mm face mills. The catalogue specifies M5 screws and a T20 wrench.

Shallow axial engagement with high table feed on stable machines.
Die and Mould Roughing
Rough open cavities, mould surfaces and remaining stock.
Extended-Reach Roughing
Use the shortest stable overhang and reduce the starting feed when rigidity is limited.
Interrupted Roughing
Confirm cutter-body limits, insert condition and grade suitability before production.
