Kennametal Face Milling

Kennametal Dodeka™ inserts and cutters are for demanding face-milling applications in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, ductile iron, and other materials. They have been engineered to deliver higher cutting speeds and feed rates along with extended tool life. This has resulted in improved cutting performance and productivity across the most demanding of materials.

Compared to competitors' face-milling inserts, Dodeka inserts provide up to 30% more cutting performance at the same level of power consumption. At the same cutting conditions, Dodeka inserts supply up to 50% longer tool life.

With 12 cutting edges per insert, the unique Dodeka geometry generates low cutting forces, resulting in increased performance per edge. The inserts are also designed for ease of use, with a single screw for insert changing and indexing.
