Offered in the Top Notch series, it features a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process for improved wear resistance and thermal stability at elevated cutting temperatures. The insert delivers a 3.18 mm (0.1252 inch) cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 6.35 mm (0.2500 inch). The left-hand orientation and positive rake angle of 10 degrees support controlled chip flow and reduced cutting forces. Machining professionals and CNC operators use this insert for grooving steel, stainless steel, and similar workpiece materials in production turning environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for left-hand grooving applications on manual and CNC turning equipment in both job shop and production settings. The KC5025 grade, a PVD-coated carbide with a C2 and C6 material grade designation, is targeted at interrupted cuts and general-purpose turning on difficult-to-machine materials. The Top Notch series toolholding system provides rigid clamping, making this insert appropriate for medium to high production runs where insert changeover speed matters. The K chip breaker geometry assists with chip control across a range of depths within 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 with TiAlN PVD coating for wear and heat resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.18 mm cutting width with a 0.19 mm corner radius for precise groove geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum depth of cut of 6.35 mm; rated depth of cut range of 5.00 mm to 10.00 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeft-hand insert orientation with positive 10-degree rake angle for reduced cutting forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eK chip breaker geometry for predictable chip control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for 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 toolholders that accept the NGD3125K insert style.

Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing the insert. Seat the insert fully in the Top Notch toolholder pocket and verify the clamp is secure before initiating a cut. Follow the toolholder manufacturer torque guidelines for the clamping screw and inspect the insert seat for chips or debris prior to installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 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: Left Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3125\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.18 mm (0.1252 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6.35 mm (0.2500 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.00 mm to 10.00 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.19 mm (0.0075 inch)\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: 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\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: 1818119\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KENNAMETAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51733338128690,"sku":"1818119","price":213.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/dbe94f128332b7090d99a3fb163463cb.jpg?v=1788754395","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/kennametal-1818119-grooving-insert-kc5025-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
