AXMT170508PEER Milling Inserts

The AXMT170508PEER Milling Inserts are high-efficiency carbide inserts designed for modern indexable milling cutters. Built from a fine-grain carbide substrate with advanced PVD coating, the AXMT170508PEER Milling Inserts deliver outstanding wear resistance, toughness, and reliable performance in steels, stainless steels, and cast irons. Featuring a positive rake geometry and optimized edge design, the AXMT170508PEER Milling Inserts provide smooth cutting action, stable performance, and superior chip evacuation, even at higher feed rates.

These inserts are widely applied in face milling, shoulder milling, slotting, and contouring. Their precision-ground edges ensure excellent surface finish while minimizing cutting forces, making them suitable for both roughing and semi-finishing. The 0.8 mm corner radius strengthens the cutting edge, extending tool life and improving stability under heavy loads.

The AXMT series is commonly used in aerospace, automotive, mold-making, and general engineering industries, where productivity, accuracy, and cost efficiency are critical.
