Kennametal 1191808 Cbs Chipbreaker Insert Square Indexable

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1191808 is a square CBS chipbreaker insert designed for use with indexable tooling systems. It features an effective width of 0.078 inches and is engineered to control chip formation during turning and milling operations. This insert is a replacement-style component intended for installation by machinists and tooling technicians working with CNC or manual metal-cutting equipment. The CBS chipbreaker geometry helps direct and break chips away from the cutting zone, reducing heat buildup and protecting the workpiece surface. At 0.0137 pounds, it is a lightweight precision component suited to high-volume tooling programs.

This insert is used in indexable cutting tool assemblies common to production machining environments, including turning centers, lathes, and milling machines. It is suited for applications where consistent chip control is required across a range of workpiece materials. The square insert geometry allows for multiple cutting edges per insert, making it a practical option for shops managing tooling costs across high-cycle operations. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.
