Kyocera SEKW422FN KW10 Grade Uncoated Carbide, Indexable Milling Insert
Product Overview
The Kyocera SEKW422FN is a KW10-grade uncoated carbide 90° square milling insert optimized for back chamfering, chamfering, countersinking, v-shape slotting. Manufactured in Japan under ISO 9001:2015 quality standards, this insert combines an ultra-fine grain substrate with the FN finishing chipbreaker to deliver premium surface finish, reliable chip management, and enhanced wear resistance in precision CNC operations.
The SEKW422FN features a sharp cutting edge with 20° clearance, purpose-built for chamfering, countersinking, and V-slotting. With 4 usable cutting edges per insert, it provides economical performance for deburring and edge-preparation workflows.

Recommended Applications & Workpiece Materials
The MCSE series 90° square insert is purpose-built for chamfering, countersinking, back chamfering, and V-shape slotting. The sharp KW10 cutting edge produces burr-free chamfers and precise countersinks.
- Cast Iron: Grey cast iron (FC250, FC300) — clean 45°/60° chamfers without edge breakout
- Non-Ferrous Metals: Aluminum, brass, copper — mirror-finish chamfers suitable for decorative edges
- Titanium Alloys: Controlled cutting edge for countersinking without galling
- Plastics: Clean V-slots and chamfers without melting or burr formation
Application Map by Operation
| Operation | Suitability | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| Chamfering | ★★★★★ | Primary — 45°/60° chamfers with square insert |
| Countersinking | ★★★★★ | Precision countersinks for bolt holes |
| Back Chamfering | ★★★★☆ | Requires back-chamfer toolholder |
| V-Shape Slotting | ★★★★☆ | 90° V-grooves with multiple passes |
| General Milling | ★★★☆☆ | Not optimized for heavy stock removal |
Recommended Cutting Conditions
Parameters below serve as starting points. Optimize based on machine rigidity, coolant delivery, and workpiece condition:
| Material | Vc (m/min) | fz (mm/tooth) | ap (mm) | Coolant |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grey Cast Iron | 60–120 | 0.03–0.08 | 0.5–2.0 | Dry / Compressed air |
| Aluminum Alloy | 150–300 | 0.02–0.06 | 0.5–1.5 | Water-soluble / MQL |
| Brass / Bronze | 80–180 | 0.03–0.08 | 0.5–1.5 | Dry preferred |
| Titanium Alloy | 15–35 | 0.02–0.05 | 0.3–1.0 | High-pressure coolant |
Operating Guidelines
- Tool Setup: Ensure cutter body runout is below 0.01 mm TIR at the insert pocket. Excessive runout causes uneven wear and chatter.
- Edge Inspection: Inspect insert cutting edge under 10× magnification before installation. Replace if chipping exceeds 0.05 mm or flank wear (VB) exceeds 0.15 mm.
- Workpiece Fixturing: Rigid clamping is essential. Minimize overhang and use support for thin-walled workpieces to prevent vibration.
- Coolant Strategy: For cast iron and brass, dry machining is preferred to avoid thermal shock. For titanium, apply high-pressure coolant (70+ bar) directed at the cutting zone.
- Speed Ramping: Start at 70% of recommended Vc for the first 5 parts, then increase to 100% once tool wear stabilizes.
- Insert Indexing: Rotate to fresh edge every 45–60 minutes of cutting time or when flank wear reaches 0.15 mm.
- Storage: Keep inserts in original packaging until use. Avoid contact between cutting edges during storage.
