Hertel 1001301 SPG634 HT10 Carbide Turning Insert 3/4 Ic

Product Description

The HERTEL 1001301 is a solid carbide turning insert in the SPG634 configuration, designed for precision external turning operations on CNC and manual lathes. This insert carries the HT10 manufacturer grade, features an uncoated finish, and is ground to a neutral hand orientation, making it suitable for both right- and left-hand toolholders in appropriate setups. The 3/4 inch inscribed circle and 90-degree square shape provide a stable cutting geometry, while the 1/16 inch corner radius balances edge strength with surface finish quality. Carbide grade C2 and a positive rake angle make this insert well-suited for lighter finishing and general-purpose turning passes.

This insert is intended for industrial machining environments where close-tolerance turning is required. It is used in applications involving non-ferrous metals and non-metallic materials (ISO material group N and S as primary workpiece materials) as well as cast iron and stainless steels (ISO groups K and M as secondary materials). The KENDEX series designation identifies the clamping and geometry system this insert belongs to, requiring a compatible SPG-style clamp-type toolholder. It is typically installed and changed by machinists and CNC operators in production or job-shop settings. Minimum order quantity is 10 pieces; package quantity is 1.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction, uncoated, for sharp edge retention and low built-up edge in non-ferrous applications
• HT10 manufacturer grade with C2 material grade for general-purpose and finishing turning
• 90-degree square insert shape (Insert Shape Code: S) with positive rake for reduced cutting forces
• 3/4 inch inscribed circle with 3/16 inch insert thickness for rigid, stable seating
• 1/16 inch corner radius balances surface finish quality with edge durability
• Clamp-style insert holding method with SPG style, tolerance code G, and clearance code P

Compatibility

Designed for use with SPG-style clamp-type toolholders compatible with the KENDEX series. Consult your toolholder documentation to confirm insert pocket geometry, clamp style, and seat configuration before installation.

Installation Notes

Insert replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator with the machine fully powered down and spindle locked. Use the appropriate torque wrench and clamp hardware specified for SPG-style KENDEX toolholders — do not overtighten clamp screws, as this can chip or crack carbide inserts. Inspect the insert pocket and clamp for wear or debris before seating a new insert. Always verify insert orientation (neutral hand) matches the intended cutting direction before resuming operation.
