Kennametal 1175015 Turning Insert CDHB120601 KC730 Carbide

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1175015 is a solid carbide turning insert in the CDHB style, designed for precision metal-cutting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Carrying the KC730 manufacturer grade with a PVD-applied TiN coating, this insert is engineered for controlled wear resistance and edge stability across demanding cutting conditions. The 80-degree diamond insert shape provides a strong cutting geometry, while the positive rake angle and flat-top chipbreaker geometry support efficient chip evacuation. With a 0.1563-inch inscribed circle and a 0.0020-inch corner radius, this insert is suited for finishing and light semi-finishing passes where tight tolerances matter. It mounts via a screw-on holding method and is sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 5.

This insert is intended for turning applications on steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium workpiece materials, corresponding to ISO material codes P, M, and S. It is appropriate for use in both production shop environments and job-shop turning operations where tool change frequency and consistent surface finish are priorities. The neutral hand orientation makes it versatile across a range of tool-holder configurations. A maximum depth of cut of 0.0492 inches (1.25 mm) positions this insert in finishing and light semi-finishing work rather than heavy roughing passes.

Key Features

• KC730 grade solid carbide with PVD TiN coating for wear resistance on steel and stainless
• 80-degree diamond insert shape (CDHB style) for strong cutting edge geometry
• Positive rake angle with flat-top chipbreaker for efficient chip control
• Screw-on holding method for secure, repeatable seating in compatible tool holders
• Neutral hand orientation for broad tool-holder compatibility
• Rated for primary use on steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium (P, M, S codes)

Compatibility

Designed for use in screw-on style turning tool holders that accept CDHB-style inserts with a 0.1563-inch inscribed circle and a 0.0840-inch hole diameter. Conforms to ANSI and ISO insert standards. Verify tool-holder manufacturer specifications before installation to confirm insert size code 1206 fitment.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Use the correct torque driver for the screw-on clamping screw to avoid stripping the insert pocket or the clamping screw threads; refer to the tool-holder manufacturer torque specification for the specific holder in use. Inspect the insert pocket seat for chips or debris before seating the new insert, as contamination will affect runout and surface finish.
