Kennametal 1818007 Grooving Insert NG2062K KC5010 Carbide

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1818007 is a solid carbide grooving insert in the Top Notch series, designed for precision external grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Manufactured to the NG2062K insert style and coated with TiAlN via a PVD process, it delivers a cutting width of 1.58 mm and a maximum depth of cut of 2.79 mm. The KC5010 grade with a positive rake angle of 10 degrees and a K-style chip breaker promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces. Licensed machinists and CNC operators working in production turning environments install this insert for consistent groove geometry and tool life in ferrous and non-ferrous applications.

This insert is suited for use on CNC turning centers and manual lathes requiring precise groove profiles in the 2.00 to 3.00 mm depth-of-cut range. The right-hand orientation targets standard OD grooving operations. The NG-style insert seats into compatible Top Notch toolholders and is appropriate for medium to finishing-pass grooving on steel, cast iron, and similar materials within C3 and C4 material grade classifications. It is sold individually but subject to a minimum order quantity of 5 pieces per order.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction in KC5010 grade for wear resistance in demanding turning applications
• TiAlN coating applied via PVD process for thermal resistance and extended tool life
• 1.58 mm cutting width with a maximum depth of cut of 2.79 mm
• Positive rake angle of 10 degrees reduces cutting forces and heat generation
• K chip breaker style promotes controlled chip flow during grooving
• Corner radius of 0.19 mm for defined groove edge geometry
• Right-hand insert hand for standard OD grooving setups

Compatibility

Designed for use with compatible Top Notch series toolholders that accept the NG2062 insert size. MSC and manufacturer cross-reference number NG2062R/LK. Verify toolholder compatibility before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified CNC machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or replacing the insert. Use the correct torque wrench and clamping hardware specified by the toolholder manufacturer — do not overtighten the clamping screw, as this can fracture the carbide. Confirm insert seating and orientation before resuming cutting operations.
