KEY FEATURES
• Premium cemented carbide substrates (e.g. grades 1040, 1130, 2030 etc.), offering toughness, durability and versatility across multiple materials.
• Square shape insert (490R style) providing strong, stable cutting edges and reliable screw/clamp mounting for secure fixation.
• 90° major cutting edge angle — ideal for straightforward milling operations with predictable cutting behavior.
• Available with modern PVD coating finishes (e.g. TiAlN, AlTiCrN, depending on grade) that enhance wear resistance and extend tool life under challenging conditions.
• Four usable cutting edges per insert — offers efficient usage and economical cost per edge. ________________________________________
APPLICATIONS
CoroMill 490 inserts are suitable for a broad range of milling tasks, including:
• General milling operations — slotting, pocketing, contouring, face milling, shoulder milling and other standard milling tasks.
• Machining of steels (carbon and alloy), stainless steels, cast irons — depending on selected grade and coating.
• Medium duty to heavy duty milling (depending on insert variant) — from medium general milling up to more demanding operations when using appropriate grade/coating.
• Use in milling machines or machining centers — suited for mixed production environments and repeated milling operations.
