Kennametal 1113061 NG3062 KC730 Grooving Insert Tin

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1113061 is a solid carbide grooving insert from the Top Notch series, designed for precision grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries a KC730 grade designation with a PVD-applied TiN coating, which provides wear resistance and thermal stability during interrupted or continuous cuts. The insert features a 1.58 mm cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 2.39 mm, making it suited for shallow-to-moderate groove profiles. The right-hand orientation and neutral rake geometry deliver consistent chip control across a range of workpiece materials. Machinists and tooling specialists handling metalcutting production work are the primary users of this insert.

This insert is intended for use in turning and grooving applications where controlled groove width and depth are critical. It fits the Top Notch toolholding system and is appropriate for machining materials in the C2, C3, and C4 material grade categories, which typically include cast irons, nonferrous metals, and certain non-metallic materials. The 0.19 mm corner radius and 55-degree included angle suit general-purpose external grooving in a production or job-shop environment. The insert is sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of five units.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the turret is in a safe index position before seating or replacing the insert. Use the appropriate Top Notch toolholder clamp and torque the clamping screw with the manufacturer-specified driver — do not over-tighten or substitute fasteners. Verify insert seating and runout before resuming cutting operations.
