APKT -EM | Helical Edge 90° Square Shoulder Insert

ZANHO APKT-EM series is a universal 90° square shoulder milling solution featuring high positive geometry and dual helical cutting edges. This design significantly reduces cutting resistance and vibrations, making it the perfect choice for low-power machines and long overhang setups. From semi-finishing to medium roughing, it ensures precision vertical walls and excellent surface integrity.

Key Technical Advantages

High Positive Rake Angle: The "High Positive" design facilitates faster shearing with minimal resistance, drastically reducing machine load and workpiece deflection. Ideal for unstable setups or slender tools.
Dual Helical Cutting Edges: Unlike straight edges, the helical geometry ensures a gradual entry and exit from the material. This minimizes impact shock, reduces vibration, and delivers a superior polished surface finish.
True 90° Shoulder Milling: Engineered for absolute verticality, the EM geometry produces perfectly perpendicular walls and flat floors, eliminating the need for secondary "cleaning" passes.
Wide Application Range: An economical 2-edge design covering everything from semi-finishing to medium-duty roughing across various steel, stainless, and cast iron materials.
Optimized Chip Flow: The helical pits naturally guide chip evacuation away from the cutting zone, preventing chip recutting and heat buildup.
