RPM 100 is a round milling insert with many usable cutting edges, used mainly for the strongest edge available — roughing, hard skins, long reach. We list 3 stock-keeping variants of it from Achteck, covering Steel, Stainless steel, Heat-resistant alloys.
Milling inserts are chosen to match the cutter body — lead angle, number of teeth and the geometry designated by the manufacturer. The milling insert selection guide walks through that; this page lists what we actually hold in RPM 100.

Carbide grades available
3 variants of RPM 100 are stocked in these grades: AP301U, AP351M, AP403S.
Across this range the grades specified most often are AP301U, AP351M, AP403S. Within one brand's range, a higher middle digit usually means a tougher grade — better on interrupted cuts, slightly less wear resistant. See carbide grades explained for how to read the names.
Chipbreaker geometries
Chipbreakers stocked for RPM 100: MM4.
For milling, the geometry code marks the intended duty — sharper for light cuts and better finish, stronger for scale and interruption. Milling insert selection guide.
