Kennametal 1793812 Carbide Cutoff Insert 5mm KC5025

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1793812 is a carbide cutoff and grooving insert designed for parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries a TiAlN coating applied by the PVD process, which improves wear resistance and tool life at elevated cutting temperatures. The insert features a 5mm cutting width, a 6-degree right-hand lead angle, and a 0.4mm corner radius. Manufactured to the A2 series standard, this insert seats in A2-series clamp-style toolholders and suits production turning of steel, cast iron, and similar workpiece materials. The KC5025 grade is a coated carbide grade positioned for interrupted cuts and general-purpose grooving.

This insert is used in production and job-shop turning environments where consistent groove width and clean cutoff are required. It is suited for use in both light production and general turning scenarios on CNC or manual lathes with rigid setups. The clamp-held mounting style means it mounts in compatible A2-series blade and block toolholders. The right-hand lead angle directs cutting forces toward the chuck, which is standard practice for most cutoff applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing inserts. Use the appropriate clamp screw torque per the toolholder manufacturer specification and ensure the insert seats fully and evenly in the pocket before resuming operation. Do not exceed the toolholder manufacturer's recommended depth-of-cut or feed rate for this insert seat size.
