| Code | Feature | Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| D | Clearance angle | 15° (positive insert) |
| K | Tolerance class | Class K |

Where ADKT inserts are used
The 85° parallelogram is the common shape for 90° shoulder milling cutters, which are also used for face and slot milling.
ADKT is a positive (15° clearance) 85° parallelogram milling insert. It has a countersunk hole for a clamping screw. The chipbreaker is on one face only. The positive geometry keeps the cutting forces down.
Use the insert format, size and corner configuration specified by the cutter manufacturer; check the pocket and clamping system before ordering.
