It carries a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process, which supports dry or near-dry cutting and holds up under elevated cutting temperatures. The insert has a right-hand orientation, a cutting width of 0.125 inches (3.18 mm), and a maximum depth of cut of 0.250 inches (6.35 mm). Manufactured to grade KC5025, it is suited for finishing and semi-finishing passes where consistent edge life and dimensional accuracy are priorities. Licensed machinists and CNC operators are the typical end users.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis insert is used in production turning environments for grooving, part-off preparation, and contour work on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The NFD insert style with KI chip breaker geometry promotes controlled chip evacuation in shallow to medium-depth groove applications. The positive rake angle of 10 degrees reduces cutting forces, making it appropriate for workholding setups with moderate rigidity. It is sized for Top Notch series toolholders and fits standard grooving applications in the 5.00 mm to 10.00 mm maximum depth-of-cut range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction, manufacturer grade KC5025, material grade C2 and C6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiAlN coating via PVD process for elevated heat resistance and extended edge life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.125 inch (3.18 mm) cutting width with a maximum depth of cut of 0.250 inches (6.35 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePositive rake angle of 10 degrees reduces cutting forces on moderate-rigidity setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKI chip breaker geometry for controlled chip flow in grooving operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorner radius of 0.0075 inches (0.19 mm) for tight-tolerance groove profiling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with Top Notch series grooving toolholders that accept the NFD3125 insert size.

Seat the insert fully in the pocket and torque the clamping screw to the toolholder manufacturer specification using a calibrated torque driver. Do not exceed the maximum depth-of-cut range for this insert size. Inspect the insert edge and pocket for chips or contamination before each use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: NFD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Top Notch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: KC5025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: C2, C6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiAlN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating Process\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.125 inches (3.18 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.250 inches (6.35 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.200 to 0.300 inches (5.00 to 10.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0075 inches (0.19 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake\u003c\/strong\u003e: Positive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 55 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChip Breaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: KI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3125\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurement Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metric\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.154 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23242105\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: KENNAMETAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1817659\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KENNAMETAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51727242166578,"sku":"1817659","price":224.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/93232df244a19e31620a9873bf1127bc.jpg?v=1788675271","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/kennametal-1817659-grooving-insert-nfd3125ki-kc5025-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
