APMT 1604
ISO Designation: APMT 1604
APMT 1604 fits face and shoulder milling cutter bodies using the APMT insert pocket standard, sized as 1604.
APMT inserts are positive-geometry milling inserts commonly used in face and shoulder milling cutters. The positive rake keeps cutting forces lower than an equivalent negative insert, which helps on lighter-duty machines and thinner-walled workpieces.
Per ISO 1832, the leading letters of this code indicate a 85° parallelogram insert shape with a 11° relief angle; the remaining characters set the tolerance class, fixing style, size, thickness and corner radius.
