The insert carries a TiAlN PVD coating and a KC5010 grade designation, making it suited for demanding interrupted-cut and high-speed turning applications where wear resistance and edge integrity are critical. The cutting geometry is left-hand orientation with a 1.98 mm cutting width, a maximum depth of cut of 2.39 mm, and a positive rake angle of 10 degrees. Machining professionals and CNC toolroom technicians install this insert as a direct exchange in compatible Top Notch toolholders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is intended for use in metal-cutting environments where tight-tolerance grooving is required on ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. The KC5010 grade and TiAlN coating combination is appropriate for moderate-to-high cutting speeds in both continuous and interrupted cuts. The insert size designation is 3078 within the NG style family, and the K chip breaker geometry supports controlled chip flow during shallow grooving passes. The insert is packaged individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 5 units, making it appropriate for production toolrooms maintaining insert inventory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTiAlN PVD coating provides thermal barrier and oxidation resistance at elevated cutting temperatures\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKC5010 carbide grade rated for material grades C3 and C4 applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1.98 mm cutting width with a maximum depth of cut range of 2.00 to 3.00 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePositive rake angle (10 degrees) reduces cutting forces and promotes free cutting action\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eK chip breaker geometry controls chip formation in shallow-to-medium depth grooving\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.19 mm corner radius minimizes stress concentration at groove walls\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLeft-hand insert orientation for specific toolholder configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in KENNAMETAL Top Notch series NG-style toolholders.

Use the appropriate torque wrench and clamping hardware specified by the toolholder manufacturer — do not overtighten the clamp screw, as solid carbide inserts are brittle and can fracture under uneven clamping load. Inspect the insert pocket for debris, chips, and seating-surface wear before installing a new insert. Verify left-hand orientation and chip breaker alignment against the toolholder documentation prior to resuming cutting operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: NG\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3078\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: Left Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.98 mm (0.0780 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.39 mm (0.0941 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.00 to 3.00 mm (0.0750 to 0.1000 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.19 mm (0.0075 inches)\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\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\u003eFull Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1543 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 per package\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\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: 1818506\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KENNAMETAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51730105073970,"sku":"1818506","price":255.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/fab873fde2a1e4f54497226b17d0dad1.jpg?v=1788711812","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/kennametal-1818506-grooving-insert-ng3078k-kc5010-tialn","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
