Grade K68 delivers high wear resistance combined with moderate toughness, making it well suited for demanding materials including stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and superalloys including titanium. The 35-degree diamond (rhombic) insert shape provides a sharp, low-resistance cutting geometry. The flat-top chip breaker, honed cutting edge, and negative rake and side clearance geometry support stable, controlled material removal across a range of turning operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis insert is used in production and job-shop environments where multiple operations are required from a single tooling setup. Suitable for turning, facing, boring, back turning, and back boring on both ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. The four available cutting edges extend tool life and reduce per-edge tooling cost. It fits the KENLOC series toolholders and is held in place via clamp and pin method, ensuring rigid seating under interrupted cuts and high-feed passes. Applications span ISO material groups P, M, K, N, and S.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrade K68 solid carbide with bright uncoated finish for high wear resistance on stainless steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e35-degree diamond (rhombic) insert shape for sharp entry angle and low cutting forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 cutting edges per insert to maximize tool economy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlat-top chip breaker geometry with honed cutting edge for controlled chip formation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNegative rake and negative side clearance for stable, rigid cutting performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-operation capable: turning, facing, boring, back turning, and back boring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in KENLOC series toolholders utilizing clamp and pin insert retention.

Before changing inserts, ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool is secured in place. Use the correct torque on the clamping screw or pin per the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Inspect the insert seat and shim for wear or debris before seating a new insert to prevent premature edge failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eANSI Insert Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: VNGA332\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISO Insert Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: VNGA160408\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: K68\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Uncoated (Bright)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: V - Diamond (Rhombic) 35 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 35 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInscribed Circle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches (0.3750 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16.61 mm (1.3076 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inches (0.1875 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/32 inches (0.0313 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1500 inches (3.81 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.25 mm (0.0492 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Cutting Edges\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChip Breaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flat Top\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0 degrees (Negative Rake)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelief Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSide Clearance\u003c\/strong\u003e: Negative\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Neutral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Holding Method\u003c\/strong\u003e: Clamp and Pin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Edge Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Honed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Non-Ferrous Metal, Superalloys and Titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISO Material Groups\u003c\/strong\u003e: P, M, K, N, S\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: KENLOC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: C3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI, ISO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0277 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: 1160078\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KENNAMETAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51733570191666,"sku":"1160078","price":216.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/87db24cb2ae93377f85fd73171a0b8d7.jpg?v=1788756442","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/kennametal-1160078-vnga332-k68-carbide-turning-insert","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
