APKT-вставка
APKT insert are versatile cutting tools widely used in industrial milling operations. These inserts play a crucial role in various machining processes, offering efficiency and precision across different materials and applications.
APKT Insert Specification:
- АПКТ is a specific designation for a type of insert shape and geometry.
- А stands for the insert shape, which is typically a parallelogram or rectangular shape with specific relief angles.
- P refers to the tolerance class of the insert.
- K designates the chipbreaker style, which affects how chips are formed and evacuated during the cutting process.
- Т often indicates the insert thickness or a specific feature related to the insert’s design.
Key Features of APKT Inserts
- Geometry: APKT inserts have a triangular shape with a positive rake angle, designed for optimal cutting performance.
- APKT Insert Sizes: The most common sizes include:
- APKT 1604: A versatile size suitable for many applications
