Kennametal 1114305 Grooving Insert NG2062K KC730 Carbide

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1114305 is a solid carbide grooving insert in the Top Notch series, designed for precision grooving and turning operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries the KC730 manufacturer grade with a PVD-applied TiN finish, delivering wear resistance and edge toughness on a range of workpiece materials. The insert features a left-hand orientation, a 1.58 mm cutting width, and a maximum depth of cut of 2.79 mm. The positive rake angle of 10 degrees and K-style chip breaker promote controlled chip flow and reduced cutting forces during grooving passes. This insert is installed by machinists and CNC operators in production and job-shop turning environments.

The 1114305 is suited for grooving applications on ferrous and non-ferrous materials falling within material grades C2, C3, and C4. It fits typical grooving scenarios including external groove profiling, parting, and face grooving on lathes equipped with Top Notch toolholders. The insert size designation is 2062, and the included angle is 55 degrees, making it appropriate for profile and form grooving where angular clearance matters. It is not designed as a multi-use turning insert and is intended for dedicated grooving setups requiring tight depth and width control.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with PVD TiN coating for extended tool life
• KC730 grade with positive 10-degree rake angle for reduced cutting forces
• 1.58 mm cutting width and 2.79 mm maximum depth of cut for precise groove geometry
• K-style chip breaker for controlled chip evacuation during grooving passes
• Left-hand insert orientation for specific toolholder configurations
• 0.19 mm corner radius for defined groove edge geometry

Compatibility

Designed for use with Top Notch series grooving toolholders that accept NG2062 style inserts. Confirm toolholder seat geometry and clamping style before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator with the machine powered off and in a locked-out, tagged-out state. Seat the insert fully into the toolholder pocket and verify clamping screw torque per the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Inspect the insert seat and clamping surfaces for chips or debris before securing the insert. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and machine tool operating guidelines when returning the machine to service.
