Rotating/Replacing
Indexable Inserts
The Model G0526A40 V-helical cutterhead is
equipped with 4-sided indexable carbide inserts.
Each insert can be removed, rotated, and re-
installed to use any of its four cutting edges. If one
cutting edge becomes dull or damaged, simply
rotate it 90º (see Figure 45) to use a sharp cut-
ting edge.
Reference Number
Figure 45. Rotating indexable carbide inserts.
The inserts have a reference number on each
corner. The position of the reference number on
installed inserts can be used to track which edges
are sharp/unused and which edges are dull or
damaged. Replace inserts once reference num-
ber has been rotated back to its original position.
