H6310 carbide insert – design and 90° shoulder milling
positive 85° rectangle with PVD coating for milling heads and indexable milling cutters
The APKT 160408 PDER milling insert is a positive indexable cemented carbide insert in grade H6310, designed for shoulder milling in steel and stainless steel. Shape A is a rectangle with a 85° corner angle. Combined with a 90° entering angle, it allows a vertical shoulder and a flat workpiece floor to be machined in one pass. The positive geometry with a 11° clearance angle reduces cutting resistance and spindle power consumption. The TiAlN PVD coating, deposited by physical vapor deposition, improves edge wear resistance and thermal stability at higher speeds. The corner radius rε 0.8 mm combines cutting edge strength with a smooth machined surface. Each insert provides two cutting edges, used in succession by rotating the insert in the milling head pocket.
Key benefits of the H6310 carbide milling insert
- Two cutting edges — the 85° rectangle provides 2 working corners on one insert; once worn, simply rotate the insert in the milling head pocket.
- Grade H6310 for ISO groups P and M — PVD-coated carbide for steel (P20-P40) and stainless steel (M20-M40) in a single item.
- Positive 11° geometry — lower cutting resistance and reduced spindle power consumption during shoulder milling.
- Tolerance class K ensures uniform height of all inserts in the milling head and lower surface roughness.
- The 0.8 mm corner radius rε combines cutting edge strength with a good machined surface finish.
- The 90° entering angle allows a vertical shoulder and a flat workpiece floor to be milled in one tool pass.
Applications and cutting data selection for the shoulder milling insert
This indexable insert performs well in milling heads and indexable milling cutters for peripheral milling, shoulder facing, and roughing and finishing surfaces in structural, alloy, and stainless steels. Calculate spindle speed using n = 1000·Vc/(π·D). For a milling head with a diameter of 50 mm at a cutting speed of 160 m/min, the result is approximately 1019 rpm. Calculate feed rate as vf = fz·z·n; with five cutting edges and a feed per tooth of fz 0.15 mm, this gives approximately 764 millimeters per minute. These settings maintain a stable edge load and consistent chip evacuation.
For stainless steel, maintain a cutting speed of 70-130 m/min and a constant feed to limit work hardening of the layer being cut. Select depth of cut ap according to system rigidity and machine power: for shoulder milling, typically 1-4 mm in steel and 0.5-2 mm in stainless materials. Grade H6310 inserts are supplied by the Korean brand Horn. Use a generous flow of emulsion or compressed air for cooling to remove chips from the cutting zone and protect the coating from overheating.
Grade H6310 is not intended for hardened steels above 45 HRC — for harder materials, select an insert in grade H8320 or a milling head with a cubic boron nitride (CBN) cutting edge.

Frequently asked questions about the APKT 160408 insert
number of edges, milling head selection, and cutting data
Two — the 85° rectangle has 2 working corners, and the positive geometry with a 11° clearance angle makes the insert single-sided, cutting only with its top face. Once a corner becomes dull, rotate the insert in the milling head pocket to the second edge without changing the tool.
It fits end mills ST90 AP16 with diameters of 25–40 mm and shell milling heads TK90 AP16 with diameters of 40–200 mm and 4 to 12 cutting edges — the tool bodies listed in the compatibility table above. For other tools, compare the pocket designation and size with the manufacturer's data.
Only in tolerance class. APKT has class K with thickness and height ground to ±0.025 mm, so all inserts in the milling head sit at the same height — lower roughness when finishing. APMT has class M (±0.05–0.13 mm), which is less expensive and sufficient for rough milling.
Yes — grade H6310 covers group ISO M20-M40. Maintain a cutting speed of 70–130 m/min, a constant feed, and continuous cooling: austenitic steel dissipates heat poorly and work-hardens when cutting is too slow.
