Hertel 1000341 Turning Insert SNG433 HC335 Carbide

Product Description

The HERTEL 1000341 is a solid carbide turning insert in the SNG433 style, designed for single-point turning operations on CNC and manual lathes. It features a CVD-applied multilayer coating of TiC, TiCN, and TiN in the HC335 grade, providing wear resistance and thermal stability during interrupted and continuous cuts. The insert carries a 1/2 inch inscribed circle, a 3/64 inch corner radius, and a 90-degree square shape with a negative rake geometry. It is part of the HERTEL KENDEX series and is intended for use by machinists and tooling technicians in production and job-shop environments.

This insert is suited for turning steel and stainless steel workpieces, corresponding to ISO material group codes P and M. The KENDEX series geometry supports moderate depths of cut up to 0.0492 inches (1.25 mm), making it appropriate for finishing and light roughing passes. The neutral hand orientation allows use in both right-hand and left-hand toolholders. Typical applications include turning shafts, flanges, and similar round components on CNC turning centers and engine lathes in residential and industrial machine shops.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Before changing inserts, power down the machine and engage the spindle lock per the machine tool manufacturer's procedure. Seat the insert fully into the toolholder pocket and secure the clamp to the manufacturer's specified torque using the appropriate torx or hex key. Inspect the insert seat and clamp for wear or debris before seating a new insert to prevent premature edge failure.
