Kennametal 1113600 Grooving Insert NG3047 K68 Carbide

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1113600 is a solid carbide grooving insert in the Top Notch series, designed for precision grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. The insert is uncoated (bright finish) and configured for left-hand cutting with a neutral rake geometry. It delivers a cutting width of 1.19 mm (0.0469 inches) and a maximum depth of cut of 1.91 mm (0.0752 inches). The K68 grade carbide is suited for machining cast iron and non-ferrous materials where a sharp, wear-resistant edge is required. The NG3047 insert size fits standard Top Notch toolholders used by machinists and CNC operators in production and job-shop environments.

This insert is intended for external grooving, recessing, and cutoff operations on lathes and turning centers. The left-hand orientation is appropriate for operations where the tool feeds from left to right or where machine setup requires a mirrored cutting direction. With an included angle of 55 degrees and a corner radius of 0.19 mm (0.0075 inches), this insert is suited for close-tolerance grooves in materials classified under C3 material grade, including gray and ductile cast iron, hardened steel, and certain non-metallic materials. Typical users include CNC machinists, tool-and-die operators, and production turners.

Installation Notes

This insert should be installed by a qualified CNC machinist or toolroom technician following standard lathe lockout and energy-isolation procedures before any tooling changes. Seat the insert fully into the Top Notch holder pocket and secure it according to the toolholder manufacturer's clamping specifications. Inspect the insert seat and clamp for wear or debris before installation to ensure proper seating and edge integrity. Do not exceed the stated maximum depth of cut for this insert size.
