Kennametal 1114325 Grooving Insert KC730 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1114325 is a solid carbide grooving insert in the Top Notch series, designed for external grooving and cutoff operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Coated with TiN via a PVD process, this right-hand insert carries a KC730 manufacturer grade and delivers consistent edge performance across a range of workpiece materials. The cutting width is 2.39 mm (0.0941 inches) with a maximum depth of cut of 6.35 mm (0.2500 inches). A positive rake angle of 10 degrees and a K-style chip breaker promote efficient chip evacuation and reduce cutting forces during grooving passes.

This insert is suited for finish and semi-finish grooving in production turning environments, including aerospace, automotive, and general metalworking applications. It is rated for material grades C2, C3, and C4, making it applicable to a broad range of ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. The NGD insert style fits Top Notch compatible toolholders. Machinists and CNC operators working with metric-specified tooling will find this insert a direct fit within that system.
