RPM 160 — round milling insert, many edges, Steel, Stainless steel, Heat-resistant alloys. There are currently 1 variants in stock from Achteck. Measured across the range: 12.68 mm inscribed circle, 6.2 mm thickness, 16.4 mm nose radius.
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 160.
