Kennametal 1793805 Cutoff Grooving Insert 3mm Cermet KT315

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1793805 is a cermet cutoff and grooving insert in the A2 series, designed for precision parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It features a 3 mm (0.1181 inch) cutting width and a 4.68 mm (0.1843 inch) cutting height, with a neutral lead angle and a 2-degree relief angle for clean, controlled cuts. The TiN/TiCN/TiN multilayer PVD coating, applied over a cermet substrate in the KT315 grade, delivers high wear resistance and thermal stability. This insert is held in place by a clamp-style toolholder and is suited for professional machinists and toolroom technicians working in production and job-shop environments.

The 1793805 is applied in cut-off and grooving operations on ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials where dimensional accuracy and surface finish are critical. The cermet substrate in material grades C3 and C7 makes it well suited for finishing and semi-finishing passes at moderate to high cutting speeds. The CR chipbreaker geometry helps manage chip flow and evacuation in tight grooving applications. It fits insert seat size 3 and is compatible with A2-series clamp-style toolholders used in standard production turning setups.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing the insert. Seat the insert fully into the pocket before tightening the clamp to manufacturer torque specifications for the toolholder in use. Inspect the insert seat and clamping surfaces for chips or debris before each insert change to ensure proper seating and safe operation.
