SEKN 1504AFTN (15.875mm width, 4.76mm thickness) features a thicker cross-section for heavy-duty face milling cutters handling depths of cut up to 6.0mm under heavy spindle loads.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"lamina-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"lamina-faq-q\"\u003eQ2: What is the primary advantage of 45-degree lead angle face milling using SEKN inserts?\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eAnswer:\u003c\/em\u003e A 45-degree lead angle distributes cutting forces evenly between axial and radial directions, reducing spindle strain and chatter.
