Carrying the KC5010 manufacturer grade with a PVD-applied TiAlN coating, this right-hand insert delivers controlled chip evacuation through its K-style chip breaker geometry. The cutting width measures 0.1252 inches (3.18 mm) and the maximum depth of cut reaches 0.2500 inches (6.35 mm). Machining professionals and CNC operators install this insert as part of the Top Notch grooving system, where consistent dimensional accuracy and tool life are critical to productivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for grooving and profiling applications in both ferrous and non-ferrous materials where carbide grades C3 and C4 apply. The positive rake angle of 10 degrees reduces cutting forces and promotes a clean chip break, making it a reliable choice for medium to finish turning passes. Its 55-degree included angle and 0.19 mm corner radius (0.0075 inches) support detailed groove profiles. Typical applications include production turning environments where grooving depth ranges from 5.00 mm to 10.00 mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKC5010 carbide grade with PVD TiAlN coating for extended wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eK-style chip breaker for controlled chip formation during grooving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutting width of 0.1252 inches (3.18 mm) for precise groove sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePositive rake angle (10 degrees) reduces cutting forces and heat generation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand orientation with 3-degree lead angle for directional grooving operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with Top Notch series toolholders and insert seats size 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with Top Notch series grooving toolholders accepting insert seat size 4.

Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Use the appropriate torque wrench and insert clamp hardware specified by the toolholder manufacturer — do not overtighten the clamping screw. Inspect the insert seat for chips or debris before seating the new insert to ensure proper contact and dimensional accuracy.\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\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: KC5010\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\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\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1252 inches (3.18 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\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\u003eInsert Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4125\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Seat Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.4530 inches\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\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\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: 0.2205 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: 1818356\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KENNAMETAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51750650216754,"sku":"1818356","price":365.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d42afcab32d173ff6371f79a6bcf39c0.jpg?v=1788917811","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/kennametal-1818356-grooving-insert-kc5010-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
