Full title and description

ISO 3365:2016 — Indexable hardmetal (carbide) inserts with wiper edges, without fixing hole — Dimensions. Specifies dimensional characteristics for indexable carbide inserts designed with wiper edges and without a fixing hole, intended mainly for mounting on milling cutters by top or wedge clamping.

Abstract

ISO 3365:2016 specifies the dimensions of indexable hardmetal (carbide) inserts that have wiper edges and no fixing hole. The document gives recommended sizes, dimensional tolerances and associated designation information for shapes used primarily on milling cutters mounted by top or wedge clamping.

Scope

This International Standard gives the dimensions and related designation information for indexable hardmetal (carbide) inserts with wiper edges and without a fixing hole. It covers the geometric sizes, recommended ranges, and tolerances for the common insert shapes used on milling cutters that are clamped by top or wedge methods. The intent is to promote interchangeability and clear designation of insert sizes and shapes.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition and designation of insert shapes with wiper edges (triangular, square, rhombic, round, etc.).
• Recommended nominal dimensions and ranges for each shape.
• Dimensional tolerances and interchangeability requirements for mounting by top or wedge clamping.
• Marking / designation conventions for insert identification.
• Methods of measurement for critical dimensions (to ensure conformance).
• Informative annexes or tables giving size ranges and examples (where applicable).

Typical use and users

Tool manufacturers, tooling designers, carbide insert producers, cutting-tool purchasers and quality/inspection engineers use ISO 3365:2016 to specify and verify geometric dimensions of indexable inserts with wiper edges. Machining shops and tooling suppliers consult the standard to ensure insert interchangeability and correct specification for milling cutter assemblies.

Related standards
