It carries a KC5010 grade designation with a PVD-applied TiAlN coating, delivering wear resistance and edge stability on a wide range of workpiece materials. The insert is right-hand orientation with a 0.0941 inch (2.39 mm) cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 0.2500 inch (6.35 mm). A positive rake angle of 10 degrees and a K-style chip breaker geometry work together to control chip flow and reduce cutting forces during grooving passes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for precision grooving in production and job-shop environments where consistent groove width and clean sidewall finish are required. The Top Notch series is a widely used platform in CNC turning applications covering both steel and exotic alloy workpieces. The KC5010 grade is positioned for finishing to light roughing cuts. With an included angle of 55 degrees and a corner radius of 0.0075 inch (0.19 mm), this insert is appropriate for tight-tolerance groove profiles. Licensed machinists and CNC operators working in general metalcutting applications are the primary installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide substrate with KC5010 grade rating, covering C3 and C4 material classifications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePVD TiAlN coating for improved wear resistance and thermal stability at the cutting edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cutting orientation with a 0.0941 inch (2.39 mm) cutting width\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum depth of cut of 0.2500 inch (6.35 mm); effective range 0.2000 to 0.3000 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePositive rake angle (10 degrees) and K chip breaker geometry for controlled chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCorner radius of 0.0075 inch (0.19 mm) supports tight groove profile tolerances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a replacement or production insert for Top Notch series grooving toolholders accepting NGD-style inserts with insert size 3094.

The machine spindle must be fully stopped and the turret locked before seating or removing any insert. Use the correct torque wrench and clamping hardware specified by the toolholder manufacturer — do not use substitute fasteners. Inspect the toolholder pocket for wear or debris before seating the insert, as a contaminated seat directly affects groove width accuracy and insert life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: NGD\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: KC5010\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: C3, C4\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: 0.0941 inches (2.39 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2500 inches (6.35 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2000 to 0.3000 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\u003eInsert Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3440 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3094\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 55 degrees\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\u003eChip Breaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: K\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: 0.0243 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23242105\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 1818116\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KENNAMETAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51728541843762,"sku":"1818116","price":159.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/163d8906972e0d1419f5bee96433da0a.jpg?v=1788693007","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/kennametal-1818116-grooving-insert-kc5010-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
