Kennametal 1182174 Grooving Insert NG1062K KC730 Carbide

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1182174 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries the KC730 manufacturer grade with a PVD-applied TiN finish, delivering wear resistance suited for ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials in the C2, C3, and C4 material grade range. The insert features a 1.58 mm cutting width, a maximum depth of cut of 1.91 mm, and a 0.19 mm corner radius. It is configured for left-hand cutting with a neutral rake and a 3-degree lead angle, making it a precise fit for controlled grooving profiles. Machining professionals install this insert in Top Notch series toolholders.

This insert is intended for use in production and job-shop turning environments where consistent groove geometry and surface finish are required. The NG1062K insert style fits Top Notch series toolholding systems and is suited for grooving applications on steel, cast iron, and similar materials within the C2, C3, and C4 material classifications. Its compact 1062 insert size and fixed cutting width make it appropriate for shallow to medium-depth groove profiles on turned components in both light and moderate production runs.
