It carries a KC730 grade designation with a PVD-applied TiN coating, which improves wear resistance and extends tool life in demanding cutting applications. The insert features a right-hand orientation, a 1.00 mm cutting width, and a maximum depth of cut of 1.91 mm. A positive rake angle of 10 degrees and a K-style chip breaker promote efficient chip evacuation during grooving. Licensed machinists and CNC operators working in production turning environments are the primary users of this insert.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for grooving and parting operations on materials corresponding to C2, C3, and C4 material grades, which generally cover a range of cast irons, non-ferrous metals, and non-metallic materials. The Top Notch series is a well-established indexable insert platform commonly found in production turning shops handling small-diameter grooving work. The 3M100 insert size and NG style make it appropriate for light to medium grooving passes where tight width tolerances and controlled chip flow are required. It is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 5 units.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKC730 carbide grade with PVD TiN coating for extended wear life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.00 mm cutting width with a maximum depth of cut of 1.91 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePositive rake angle of 10 degrees reduces cutting forces and promotes chip flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eK-style chip breaker for controlled chip evacuation in grooving operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorner radius of 0.19 mm for fine finish grooving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand insert orientation for standard lathe tooling setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in Top Notch series toolholders that accept the NG insert style in 3M100 size.

Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or indexing the insert. Ensure the insert pocket and clamping surfaces are clean and free of chips before installation. Follow the toolholder manufacturer torque specifications for the clamping screw  -  do not overtighten, as carbide inserts are brittle and can fracture under excess clamping load.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: NG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3M100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: KC730\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating Process\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.00 mm (0.0394 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.91 mm (0.0752 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.19 mm (0.0075 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake\u003c\/strong\u003e: Positive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChip Breaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: K\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 55 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: C2, C3, C4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Top Notch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurement Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metric\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0257 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: KENNAMETAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1152044\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KENNAMETAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51743264571698,"sku":"1152044","price":257.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/9208e3dad90238c773e0e9d3f46f2d43_078e6ccf-6f5b-4b78-9771-6caf04a775f5.jpg?v=1788844714","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/kennametal-1152044-grooving-insert-kc730-1mm-right-hand","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
