Kennametal 1805382 Carbide Cutoff Insert 3mm KC5025

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1805382 is a carbide cutoff insert designed for parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Manufactured to the A2 insert style, it carries the KC5025 grade with a PVD-applied TiAlN coating that provides wear resistance and thermal stability during high-speed cut-off work. The insert measures 3.00 mm in cutting width with a 4.66 mm cutting height, a 6-degree right-hand lead angle, and a 2-degree relief angle. A CR chipbreaker geometry promotes controlled chip formation. Machinists and tooling setters working in production turning environments install this insert using a mechanical clamp-style holder.

This insert is suited for cut-off and parting applications in production turning, whether on standard lathes or automated CNC turning cells. The right-hand lead angle and CR chipbreaker make it appropriate for general-purpose parting on steel, cast iron, and similar workpiece materials within the C2 and C6 material grade classifications. It fits holders with an insert seat size of 3 that accept the A2 series insert style. Minimum order quantity is 10 inserts; package quantity is 1 per pack.
