Horn RU114003100TN35 Grooving Insert Solid Carbide U114

Product Description

The HORN RU114003100TN35 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision turning and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built to the U114 series standard, this right-hand insert features a 0.031-inch cutting width and an overall length of 0.531 inches. The TN35 grade designation indicates a carbide substrate suited for a wide range of workpiece materials. It is secured in the toolholder via screw clamping, providing rigid, repeatable positioning during interrupted or continuous groove cuts. Machinists and CNC operators working in production or job-shop environments rely on this insert for consistent dimensional accuracy in tight-tolerance grooving applications.

This insert is appropriate for use in both light-duty and production grooving operations across a broad spectrum of workpiece materials, including cast iron, steel alloys, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and non-metallic materials as indicated by the universal material compatibility codes K, M, N, P, and S. It is sized for toolholders and cartridges built to the U114 series specification. Typical applications include O-ring groove cutting, snap-ring groove cutting, and face grooving on turned components in aerospace, automotive, and general machining environments.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in grooving operations
• 0.031-inch cutting width for narrow, precise groove profiles
• TN35 grade carbide suited for universal workpiece material compatibility
• Right-hand cutting orientation for standard CNC lathe setups
• Screw-clamp holding method for secure, repeatable insert positioning
• U114 series form factor for direct fitment into compatible toolholders and cartridges

Compatibility

Designed for use with U114 series toolholders and cartridges that accept screw-clamped grooving inserts. Compatible with workpiece materials classified under codes K, M, N, P, and S, covering cast iron, stainless steel, non-ferrous metals, steel, and superalloys.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or CNC operator following standard insert-change procedures. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before removing or seating the insert. Use the appropriate torx or hex key to secure the clamping screw to the toolholder manufacturers specified feel - do not overtighten, as solid carbide inserts are brittle. Verify insert seating and orientation before resuming cuts.
