Kennametal 1792684 Grooving Insert NR3062K KC5010 Carbide

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1792684 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Designated grade KC5010 with a PVD-applied TiAlN coating, this insert delivers wear resistance and thermal stability across a range of workpiece materials rated C3 and C4. It features a 0.125-inch (3.18 mm) cutting width, a maximum depth of cut of 0.150 inch (3.81 mm), and a positive 10-degree rake angle that promotes clean chip formation. The insert is right-hand orientation and carries a full corner radius of 0.063 inch (1.59 mm). Machinists and CNC operators in metalworking shops are the primary installers of this tooling.

This insert is part of the Kennametal Top Notch series, engineered for external grooving, recessing, and profiling applications on turning equipment. The K chip breaker geometry suits medium-duty grooving passes where controlled chip evacuation is critical. It is suited for use in both production and job-shop environments where consistent groove width and depth repeatability are required across ferrous and non-ferrous materials within the C3 and C4 material grade classifications. Insert size designation is 3062.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC setup technicians. Always power down and lock out the machine before seating or changing inserts. Ensure the toolholder pocket is clean and free of debris before inserting to guarantee proper seating and clamping force. Do not exceed the rated depth of cut range for this insert geometry, as overloading may cause premature edge failure or insert fracture.
