Kennametal 1796502 Threading Insert Size 3 KC5025 Carbide

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1796502 is a solid carbide threading insert designed for cutting Acme thread forms in both internal and external applications. Part of the Top Notch series, this insert carries the KC5025 grade designation and features a TiAlN finish applied via PVD coating process. The insert is right-hand orientation, Size 3, with an included angle of 29 degrees and an internal pitch of 10 TPI. The cutting tip width measures 0.0319 inches and the tip-to-top dimension is 0.1492 inches, making it suited for precision threading operations on lathes and turning centers. Licensed tradespeople and CNC machinists are the primary users.

This insert is used in both internal and external Acme threading operations across a range of turning applications. The Acme thread form is common in power transmission components such as lead screws, jacks, and vises. The Top Notch series is a quick-change tooling platform commonly used on CNC lathes and manual turning equipment. The right-hand cutting geometry suits standard thread-cutting passes on most conventional setups. This insert is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 5 units.
