APKT11T308-LH YD101 Milling Insert
Mirror-Polished Uncoated Carbide for High-Performance Aluminum Milling
Product Overview
"Which milling insert provides the best chip control and prevents built-up edge when machining high-silicon aluminum or copper alloys?"
The APKT11T308-LH YD101 is a specialized solution from ZCC.CT’s non-ferrous line. Utilizing the YD101 uncoated sub-micron carbide grade, this insert features a mirror-polished rake face to drastically reduce friction. The -LH chipbreaker is precision-ground with a sharp, positive geometry, making it the industry standard for eliminating material adhesion and ensuring a high-gloss finish on ISO N (Non-ferrous) workpieces.
Key Features
- ✔ Mirror-Polished Surface: Reduces cutting temperature and prevents aluminum from welding to the insert edge.
- ✔ Extra Sharp LH Geometry: Designed for smooth cutting action and superior chip evacuation in soft, gummy materials.
- ✔ YD101 Grade Stability: An uncoated fine-grain carbide that offers high resistance to abrasive wear in high-silicon alloys.

Industrial FAQ
A: The LH is a high-positive, sharp geometry specifically for aluminum. PM is for steel/stainless. LH prevents gummy materials from clogging.
A: While possible due to the low friction, high-speed aluminum milling always performs better with flood coolant or MQL to assist chip removal.
A: Yes, it follows standard ISO dimensions and will fit any 90° square shoulder mill designed for APKT11T3 inserts.
💡 Machining Tip: When using YD101, maximize your RPM. High surface speeds (Vc) paired with the polished LH rake face will produce the best "mirror" finish on aluminum parts.

Technical FAQ & Buying Guide
When choosing CNC cutting tools, check the full model code, dimensions, grade and selected variant before ordering. Do not rely on the product image alone.
For carbide inserts, tool holders, drills and end mills, compare the mounting dimensions, connection type and manufacturer's specifications with your holder or machine. If you are unsure, share your existing part number and machining application with us before ordering.
Check the product listing for the selling unit, pack quantity and included components. If it is unclear whether the price is per piece or per pack, or whether a tool body and inserts are sold separately, contact us before purchasing.
Select cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut using the relevant manufacturer's recommendations for your tool model, workpiece material, machine conditions and coolant method. The same settings are not suitable for every product or application.
