Where SDMT inserts are used
Square milling inserts are used mainly in face milling cutters.
SDMT is a positive (15° clearance) square 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.
