Milling Inserts meet general purpose and heavy machining needs.

Press Release Summary:




Available in screw-on, end mill, and shell mill options with internal through coolant, KenFeed™ 2X Milling Inserts are suited for pocketing, ramping, and helical interpolations with Z-plunge capabilities. Each double-sided trigon insert offers 6 cutting edges to deliver 2x cutting power of conventional inserts. Customers may choose HD insert geometry for steels, high-strength steels, and cast iron, or GD geometry for lower cutting forces needed when machining softer materials.

The New KenFeed 2X Milling Solution from Kennametal



LATROBE, Pa. — Kennametal’s new KenFeed™ 2X milling solution delivers more cutting depth from a single insert size to offer customers enhanced performance with reduced inventory. Following the six-year success of the company’s original KenFeed™ platform, this new generation achieves greater cutting depths with fewer and larger inserts.



Compared with the previous generation of KenFeed tooling, which required three different insert sizes, the KenFeed 2X requires only one. These new inserts are engineered to provide superior material removal rates and productivity at high feeds for roughing operations. Each double-sided trigon insert offers six cutting edges to deliver twice the cutting power of conventional inserts, delivering better cost per edge position with full usage. The new inserts’ thick, robust design provides outstanding strength and reliability making them capable of withstanding the extremes of high-feed operations. Additionally, it is the ideal solution for deep cavities or milling operations from 3 x D.



Customers may select from two insert topographies for their light, general purpose, and heavy machining needs, including the HD insert geometry, the first choice for steels, high-strength steels, and cast iron; and the GD geometry for lower cutting forces needed when machining softer materials. With the latest grades and geometries and multiple edges, the KenFeed 2X inserts achieve 2 times the cutting power of conventional KenFeed inserts.



KenFeed 2X tool bodies are available in screw-on, end mill, and shell mill options with internal through coolant. Their platform design makes KenFeed 2X ideal for pocketing, ramping, and helical interpolations with Z-plunge capabilities.



Kennametal plans to expand this new line to include additional metric and inch diameters.
