Carrying the NG2041K designation within Kennametal's Top Notch series, this insert features a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process, delivering improved wear resistance and thermal stability at the cutting edge. The insert has a cutting width of 1.04 mm, a maximum depth of cut of 1.27 mm, and a corner radius of 0.09 mm. The K-style chip breaker geometry promotes controlled chip evacuation in a wide range of workpiece materials. Installed and replaced by machinists and CNC tooling technicians, this insert suits high-volume production turning environments where consistent grooving accuracy is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for grooving operations on small-diameter workpieces in metric-dimensioned setups. The right-hand orientation and neutral rake angle make it compatible with standard Top Notch grooving toolholders. The KC5025 grade, rated for material grades C2 and C6, is appropriate for machining steels and other metals where PVD-coated carbide provides a balance of toughness and wear resistance. It is commonly used in precision component manufacturing, medical parts, and automotive turning applications where tight groove width tolerances are critical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction with PVD-applied TiAlN coating for extended tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1.04 mm cutting width for precise, narrow groove profiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum depth of cut of 1.27 mm suits shallow grooving and parting passes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eK chip breaker style promotes reliable chip control and evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand orientation with neutral rake angle for standard toolholder compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e55-degree included angle and 3-degree lead angle for controlled entry geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with Top Notch series grooving toolholders that accept the NG insert style.

Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe lockout state before changing inserts. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping screw for wear or debris before seating the new insert.
