Precision Milling Cutters,Cutting Tools for CNC Machining Every Material
APMT1604 insert options are available in different PDER and PDFR configurations for indexable milling applications. OMIST provides model identification, cutter matching, replacement review, and drawing-based evaluation according to the customer’s actual requirements.
OMIST can review the customer’s existing insert marking, cutter information, material, or drawing to identify an appropriate APMT1604 configuration for quotation.
Representative APMT1604 PDER Designations
For OMIST’s regular APMT1604 offering, PDER is the main designation reference. Confirmed representative options include:
- APMT1604PDER-H2 – for steel applications
- APMT1604PDER-M2 – for stainless steel applications
Other configurations, including FM, DL, KZ, TT, MA, and LJF, are also available for review according to the specific requirement. OMIST confirms the complete designation before quotation because different workpiece materials and applications may require different configurations.
APMT1604 Insert Dimensions and Specifications
Nominal Size Reference
The following are factory reference dimensions for the APMT1604 insert:
| Dimension | Reference |
|---|---|
| L | 16.3 mm |
| d | 9.2 mm |
| t | 4.5 mm |
| R | 0.8 mm |
These dimensions help with initial product identification and matching. However, buyers should not use the size values alone to determine interchangeability. Buyers should also check the complete insert designation and cutter body.
Complete Designation and Corner Radius
The factory reference corner radius shown for the APMT1604 size is R0.8.
APMT1604 is only part of the complete insert designation. Additional designation information identifies the specific insert configuration. Therefore, the full marking on an existing insert provides a more reliable reference for replacement review than the basic size code alone.
If the complete marking is unavailable, a clear insert photo, cutter body information, dimensions, or drawing can be used for further review.
Cutter Body and Replacement Matching
400R / BAP400R Cutter Reference
Factory product information provides the following matching references for APMT1604 inserts:
- 400R cutter bar
- BAP400R cutter body
These are cutter references for matching review rather than a statement of universal compatibility. OMIST reviews the specific cutter body, insert pocket, existing insert marking, and relevant dimensions before confirming a replacement.
For other APMT insert sizes and configurations, see APMT Inserts.
When Existing Insert Marking Is Different
APMT1604 inserts may be requested with different complete designations, including PDER and PDFR configurations. If your existing insert is marked APMT1604PDFR, please send the complete marking, cutter body reference, insert photo, or drawing for review. OMIST can evaluate the matching specification according to your actual requirement.
In this situation, the existing marking should not be treated as automatically interchangeable with an OMIST PDER insert.
Application Information for Review
Different APMT1604 configurations can be reviewed according to the workpiece material and machining requirements.
Confirmed representative references include APMT1604PDER-H2 for steel and APMT1604PDER-M2 for stainless steel. Factory information also includes configurations for requirements involving steel and hardened steel, copper and aluminum, titanium alloy, and other applications.
Because the appropriate configuration depends on the complete requirement, OMIST selects the insert configuration after reviewing the workpiece material, existing tooling information, and machining application.
For a broader range of carbide insert types, see Milling Inserts.
Drawing-Based Non-Standard Insert Evaluation
For non-standard insert requirements, OMIST can evaluate production feasibility based on the customer’s drawing and application information.
The available drawing, dimensions, existing insert information, cutter details, workpiece material, and machining requirements can be reviewed before quotation. OMIST confirms production feasibility and the final specification according to the actual requirement.
How to Request an APMT1604 Insert Quote
When You Have the Complete Insert Code
If the complete insert designation is available, send the model together with the required quantity.
For example:
APMT1604PDER-M2 + Quantity
We will review the designation and order requirements before preparing the quotation.
When the Model Is Unknown or Replacement Matching Is Needed
If the complete model is unknown, send a clear photo of the existing insert together with any available cutter body information, dimensions, or drawing.
For replacement requirements involving a different supplier designation, such as APMT1604PDFR, please also provide the complete existing marking whenever possible. We can review the available information before recommending a corresponding option for quotation.

APMT1604 Inserts FAQ
Are all APMT1604 inserts interchangeable?
No. APMT1604 identifies the insert size group, but complete designations and configurations can differ. The existing insert marking and cutter body should be checked before confirming a replacement.
What are the reference dimensions of an APMT1604 insert?
The factory reference dimensions are L 16.3 mm, d 9.2 mm, t 4.5 mm, and R 0.8 mm. These dimensions are useful for initial identification, but the complete designation and cutter body should also be confirmed.
What is the main APMT1604 designation reference used by OMIST?
For OMIST’s regular APMT1604 offering, PDER is the main designation reference. APMT1604PDER-H2 and APMT1604PDER-M2 are two confirmed representative options. The final configuration should be selected according to the actual requirement.
Can APMT1604 be reviewed for a 400R or BAP400R cutter body?
Yes. 400R cutter bars and BAP400R cutter bodies are confirmed matching references in the factory product information. However, the specific cutter body and insert pocket should still be reviewed before compatibility is confirmed.
Can OMIST review an APMT1604PDFR replacement request?
Yes. APMT1604PDFR configurations can be supplied or reviewed according to the complete model, cutter body, workpiece material, and application requirement. Please send the full insert marking or drawing for confirmation before quotation.
