Kennametal 1114229 NG3047K KC730 Grooving Insert Carbide Tin

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1114229 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision external grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Cataloged under the Top Notch series with manufacturer grade KC730, this insert features a PVD-applied TiN coating for improved wear resistance and tool life. It has a right-hand cutting orientation, a 1.19 mm cutting width, and a maximum depth of cut of 1.91 mm. The K chip breaker geometry and 10-degree positive rake angle promote controlled chip evacuation in medium-duty turning applications. Machinists and CNC tooling specialists working in production environments rely on this insert for consistent groove profiles and repeatable performance.

This insert is suited for grooving applications on ferrous and non-ferrous materials corresponding to material grades C2, C3, and C4. It fits into Top Notch-compatible grooving toolholders that accept the NG3047 insert size. The 55-degree included angle, 0.19 mm corner radius, and 3-degree lead angle make it appropriate for tight-tolerance groove work in both light and medium production environments. It is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 5 units, making it suitable for toolroom restocking and production tooling kits.
