Kennametal 1793827 Cutoff Grooving Insert KC5025 Carbide

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1793827 is a carbide cutoff and grooving insert designed for precision parting and groove-cutting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built to the A2 insert series, it carries the KC5025 manufacturer grade with a PVD-applied TiAlN coating for extended tool life in demanding applications. The insert features an 8 mm cutting width (0.3150 inches), a cutting height of 9.28 mm (0.3654 inches), and a 0-degree neutral lead angle. A corner radius of 0.0157 inches and a CR chipbreaker geometry help control chip flow and reduce cutting forces across a range of workpiece materials. Licensed machinists and CNC operators install this insert as part of a clamped toolholder setup.

This insert is suited for cut-off and grooving applications in both production and job-shop environments. The KC5025 grade with TiAlN coating performs across material grades C2 and C6, covering a broad spectrum of steels, cast irons, and non-ferrous alloys in typical turning operations. The neutral lead angle and CR chipbreaker make it a versatile choice for standard radial parting and shallow to medium-depth grooving where consistent chip evacuation is critical. The insert seat size is 8, matching compatible A2-series clamping toolholders.

Key Features

• 8 mm (0.3150 inches) cutting width for consistent parting and grooving dimensions
• KC5025 grade with PVD TiAlN coating for wear resistance and extended edge life
• Neutral 0-degree lead angle with CR chipbreaker for controlled chip flow
• 2-degree relief angle reduces rubbing and supports clean surface finish
• Clamp-held mounting for rigid, repeatable insert positioning in A2-series toolholders
• Multi-use capable across both cut-off and grooving applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with A2-series clamped cutoff and grooving toolholders accepting an insert seat size of 8. Compatible across material grades C2 and C6 as specified by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Always power down and lock out the machine before seating or removing inserts. Use the correct clamping screw torque as specified by the toolholder manufacturer to avoid insert movement or shim damage. Inspect the insert pocket and clamp for wear or debris before seating a new insert to ensure proper support and alignment.
