Kennametal KenFeed 2X promises greater depths of cut
Kennametal's latest KenFeed 2X solution for high feedrate light to heavy end milling operation promises larger depths of cut using larger inserts. While the previous generation of KenFeed tooling required three different insert sizes, the KenFeed 2X requires only one – and each double-sided trigon insert offers six cutting edges.
The Kennametal KenFeed 2X inserts are engineered to provide better material removal rates and productivity at high feeds for roughing. Their thick design provides the strength and reliability required to withstand high feedrate operations and to provide a solution for deep cavities or milling operations from 3XD.
Two insert topographies cover light, general purpose, and heavy machining. The HD insert geometry is the first choice for steels, high strength steels and cast iron, while the GD geometry provides lower cutting forces for softer materials.
KenFeed 2X tool bodies are available in screw-on, end mill, and shell mill options with internal through coolant. The platform design makes KenFeed 2X suitable for pocketing, ramping and helical interpolations with Z-plunge capabilities.
The line is scheduled to be expanded to include additional metric and inch diameters.
