Kennametal 1795794 Threading Insert KC5025 Carbide

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1795794 is a left-hand carbide threading insert in the Top Notch series, designed for cutting both internal and external threads on metal workpieces. It carries the KC5025 manufacturer grade with a PVD-applied TiAlN finish, which provides wear resistance and thermal stability during threading operations. The insert conforms to a partial profile 60-degree thread standard and covers an external pitch range of 0.60 to 2.50 mm (10 to 44 TPI) and an internal pitch range of 1.00 to 2.50 mm (9 to 24 TPI). It is sized and toleranced for use in compatible Top Notch toolholders and is installed by machinists and CNC turning specialists in production and job-shop environments.

This insert is suited for threading operations on lathes and turning centers where left-hand thread geometry is required. It handles both internal and external thread profiles in a single insert style, making it a versatile choice for shops that run varied threading programs. The KC5025 grade with TiAlN coating is well matched to steel, alloy steel, and similar materials classified under material grades C2 and C6. It is commonly used in precision machining applications where consistent thread form and tool life are priorities.
