Kennametal 1162410 Round Turning Insert KC850 Carbide

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1162410 is a solid carbide round turning insert in the KENDEX series, designed for high-performance material removal in CNC turning, facing, and boring operations. Manufactured to ANSI insert code RCGH43 and ISO insert code RCGH120400, this insert features a 0.5 inch inscribed circle, a 3/16 inch thickness, and a 1/4 inch corner radius. The KC850 grade uses a multilayer CVD coating process applying TiC, TiCN, and TiN layers, delivering a balance of wear resistance and toughness across a range of workpiece materials. Installation is performed by licensed machinists and CNC operators in production and job-shop environments.

This insert is suited for turning, facing, and boring applications in both light and medium machining cycles. Its round shape provides full radius cutting geometry with four usable cutting edges, making it effective for profiling and continuous cuts. Primary workpiece materials include steel and stainless steel, with additional capability on cast iron and special or super alloys. The RCGH43 style uses a positive rake and positive side clearance with a honed cutting edge for controlled chip formation under medium machining conditions.

Key Features

• ANSI code RCGH43, ISO code RCGH120400 for standardized toolholder compatibility
• KC850 grade with multilayer CVD TiC, TiCN, TiN coating for wear resistance and toughness
• Round insert shape with full radius geometry and four cutting edges
• Positive rake and positive side clearance with honed cutting edge style
• Chip breaker suited for medium machining on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and super alloys
• Screw-held mounting with 0.2165 inch hole diameter for secure clamping

Compatibility

Designed for use in RCGH-style round insert toolholders conforming to ANSI and ISO standards for the RCGH43 insert size code. Confirm toolholder seat geometry, pocket diameter, and clamping screw specification before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists using the appropriate torx or hex key for the clamping screw. Power down and fully deactivate the machine spindle before changing inserts. Inspect the toolholder pocket and clamping components for wear or debris prior to seating the insert. Handle carbide inserts carefully to avoid chipping the cutting edge during loading.
