Kennametal 1113564 NG2047 K68 Grooving Insert Carbide

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1113564 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built to the NG insert style in the Top Notch series, it features a cutting width of 1.19 mm (0.0469 inches) and a maximum depth of cut of 1.27 mm (0.0500 inches). The K68 grade uncoated carbide construction suits applications requiring sharp, consistent edges on non-ferrous and cast iron workpieces. A neutral rake geometry and a corner radius of 0.09 mm (0.0035 inches) support stable chip formation during light to moderate grooving passes. This insert is installed by machinists and CNC operators in production and job-shop turning environments.

The 1113564 is suited for external grooving and parting applications on turning centers equipped with Top Notch series toolholders accepting NG-style inserts. It is configured for right-hand cutting with a 55-degree included angle and a 3-degree lead angle, making it appropriate for groove profiles requiring precise width control at shallow to moderate depths. The metric sizing and small cutting width make it a practical choice for fine grooving work on small-diameter workpieces in both residential shop and industrial production settings.

Installation Notes

Grooving inserts of this type are installed and changed by machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing the insert. Use the correct torque wrench and clamping hardware specified for the Top Notch toolholder to ensure the insert is properly seated. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping screw for wear or debris before installing a new insert.
