Kennametal 1182074 Grooving Insert NG1094 KC720 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1182074 is a solid carbide grooving insert in the Top Notch series, designed for precision grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. This left-hand insert features a TiN coating applied via PVD process, providing wear resistance and extended tool life in a range of workpiece materials. The cutting width is 2.39 mm (0.0941 inches) and the maximum depth of cut is 1.91 mm (0.0752 inches). The corner radius measures 0.19 mm (0.0075 inches) with a neutral rake geometry and a 3-degree lead angle. Machinists and CNC operators working in production turning environments are the primary installers of this insert.

This insert is suited for external grooving, parting, and profiling applications on lathes and turning centers where metric tooling setups are standard. The NG1094 insert style fits Top Notch compatible toolholders designed for that insert size and geometry. Typical applications include grooving steel, cast iron, and similar materials within the C1 through C5 material grade range. The left-hand orientation makes it appropriate for setups where cut direction or toolholder configuration requires left-hand tooling.

Installation Notes

Insert seating and clamping should be performed by a qualified machinist following the toolholder manufacturer torque and clamping guidelines for the Top Notch system. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping components for damage or chips before seating the new insert. Do not exceed the rated maximum depth of cut for this insert size.
