Kennametal 1796198 Threading Insert 16 Tpi KC5010 Carbide

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1796198 is a carbide threading insert designed for external thread cutting operations. Carrying the KC5010 manufacturer grade with a PVD-applied TiAlN finish, this insert delivers wear resistance suited to demanding threading applications. It is configured in the NJF insert style with a 16 TPI external pitch and a 60-degree included angle, making it appropriate for UNJ thread standard work. Right-hand orientation and the Top Notch series designation ensure drop-in compatibility with matching toolholders. Licensed machinists and CNC turning specialists are the primary installers of this insert in production and job-shop environments.

This insert is used in external threading operations on CNC lathes and turning centers where UNJ thread forms are required. The KC5010 grade with TiAlN coating is well suited for threading ferrous materials and other alloys where heat and wear resistance are priorities. Insert size 3010 and the Top Notch series locating geometry make this a practical choice for shops running high-volume threading cycles that demand consistent thread form accuracy and extended tool life.

Installation Notes

Threading inserts are installed and replaced by machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Always index or replace inserts with the machine powered down and the spindle locked before handling cutting edges. Use the correct Torx or hex key specified for the Top Notch clamping screw to secure the insert without rocking it in the pocket. Verify thread form and pitch with appropriate thread gauges after each insert change before returning the machine to production.
