Kennametal 1113601 Grooving Insert NG3062 K68 Carbide

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1113601 is a solid carbide grooving insert in the Top Notch series, designed for precision grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Manufactured in grade K68 with a bright uncoated finish, this insert offers a cutting width of 1.58 mm (0.0622 inches) and a maximum depth of cut of 2.39 mm (0.0941 inches). The left-hand orientation and neutral rake geometry make it well suited for specific toolholder setups requiring that hand configuration. Machinists and tooling specialists working with carbide-grade C3 materials will find this insert consistent with OEM Top Notch system tooling standards.

This insert is intended for metalworking applications where tight groove dimensions are required, including grooving, recessing, and light parting on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. The Top Notch series is a standardized insert system commonly found in production turning environments across job shops and manufacturing facilities. Insert size 3062 fits the corresponding Top Notch series toolholders. The 55-degree included angle and 0.19 mm (0.0075 inch) corner radius support clean groove profiles at controlled depths within the 2.00 mm to 3.00 mm depth-of-cut range.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the turning center or lathe is fully powered down and in a safe lockout state before changing inserts. Use the appropriate torque wrench and clamping screw specified for the Top Notch toolholder to seat the insert securely without over-torquing the clamp. Inspect the insert pocket for debris or wear before seating the new insert to maintain proper cutting geometry.
