Kennametal 1310723 DPGT3252HP KC5010 Carbide Turning Insert

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1310723 is a solid carbide turning insert in the DPGT3252HP geometry with KC5010 grade, designed for precision finishing operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries a PVD-applied TiAlN coating that supports high wear resistance across a range of workpiece materials. The insert features a 55-degree diamond (rhombic) shape, a positive rake angle of 15 degrees, an 11-degree relief angle, and a honed cutting edge. The HP chip breaker geometry is optimized for finishing passes at controlled depths of cut. This insert is held in place by a screw-on clamping method and delivers two usable cutting edges per insert.

This insert is suited for finishing operations including turning, facing, boring, back turning, and back boring. Primary workpiece materials include steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium, with secondary suitability for non-ferrous materials. The KC5010 grade delivers high to moderate wear resistance combined with adequate toughness, making it appropriate for stable, light-to-moderate-load finishing cuts. It is used in both manual toolroom setups and production turning applications wherever a DPGT-style insert seat is specified.

Key Features

• KC5010 grade with PVD TiAlN coating for high wear resistance on steel, stainless steel, and superalloys
• 55-degree diamond insert shape with positive rake for efficient chip flow during finishing
• HP chip breaker geometry optimized for finishing operations at shallow depths of cut
• Screw-on holding method provides secure, repeatable insert indexing
• Two cutting edges per insert for extended tool life per unit
• Compliant with both ANSI (DPGT3252) and ISO (DPGT11T308) insert standards

Compatibility

Designed for use in toolholders accepting DPGT-style screw-on inserts with a 3/8 inch inscribed circle. Compatible with ANSI size code 3252 and ISO size code 11T308 insert pockets.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Power down the machine and engage the spindle lock before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the correct Torx or hex key for the clamp screw as specified by the toolholder manufacturer — do not overtighten, as this can fracture the carbide substrate. Inspect the insert pocket and seating surface for chips or debris before seating a new insert.
