XOMX1806 Milling Inserts

The XOMX1806 Milling Inserts are heavy-duty carbide inserts designed for indexable milling cutters in roughing and semi-finishing operations. Made from a fine-grain carbide substrate with advanced PVD coating, the XOMX1806 Milling Inserts deliver outstanding wear resistance, toughness, and heat stability. Featuring a positive rake geometry, the XOMX1806 Milling Inserts ensure smooth cutting, excellent chip evacuation, and reliable performance in steels, stainless steels, and cast irons.

With a larger insert size compared to XOMX10 and XOMX12 series, these inserts provide stronger edge support, higher feed capabilities, and extended tool life. They are ideal for face milling, shoulder milling, contouring, and slotting where productivity and precision are required. Thanks to their optimized cutting edges and secure seating, they deliver stable performance even under demanding machining conditions.

The XOMX series is widely applied in automotive, aerospace, mold-making, and heavy engineering industries, ensuring consistency, repeatability, and cost efficiency.
