Designated style NG3M300K, it carries a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process, delivering hard, wear-resistant performance on a wide range of workpiece materials. The insert operates with a 3.00 mm cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 3.81 mm. A positive rake angle of 10 degrees and a K-style chip breaker geometry promote controlled chip evacuation. Left-hand orientation and a 3-degree lead angle define the cutting direction and entry geometry. This insert is installed and replaced by CNC machinists and toolroom technicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for metric grooving applications in production turning environments, both light industrial and high-volume manufacturing. The KC5010 grade, rated for material grades C3 and C4, performs across ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. The Top Notch series toolholding system provides the clamping platform for this insert. The 0.19 mm corner radius (0.0075 inches) supports general grooving profiles without a full-radius configuration. Typical use cases include external groove profiling, undercut operations, and snap-ring groove preparation on turned components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide substrate with TiAlN PVD coating for wear and heat resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.00 mm cutting width with a maximum depth of cut of 3.81 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eK-style chip breaker with positive 10-degree rake angle for controlled chip flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeft-hand insert orientation with 3-degree lead angle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.19 mm corner radius, non-full-radius geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with the Top Notch series toolholding system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with KENNAMETAL Top Notch series grooving toolholders that accept NG-style inserts with size designation 3M300.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis insert is seated and clamped by a CNC machinist or toolroom technician using the appropriate Top Notch series toolholder. Ensure the machine spindle is stopped and the turret is indexed to a safe position before removing or installing inserts. Use the correct torque wrench or clamping screw tool specified by the toolholder manufacturer to secure the insert without over-tightening. Inspect the insert seat for chips or debris before seating a new insert to ensure proper contact and repeatability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: NG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3M300\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.00 mm (0.1181 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.81 mm (0.1500 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.00 to 4.00 mm (0.1500 to 0.2000 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.19 mm (0.0075 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 degrees (Positive)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChip Breaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: K\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 55 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Left Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: KC5010\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: C3, C4\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\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Top Notch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurement Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metric\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1543 pounds\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: 1817681\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KENNAMETAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51749368037682,"sku":"1817681","price":256.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/7ca032fc8cded38d99e67687c95646c6.jpg?v=1788905111","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/kennametal-1817681-grooving-insert-3mm-kc5010-left-hand","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
