Manufactured to the NR4125K insert style in KENNAMETAL grade KC5025, this insert features a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process, delivering strong wear resistance and thermal stability at elevated cutting speeds. The insert has a 6.35 mm (0.250 inch) cutting width and a 6.35 mm (0.250 inch) maximum depth of cut, with a full-radius corner profile measuring 3.18 mm (0.125 inch). A positive rake angle of 10 degrees and a K-style chip breaker promote clean chip evacuation and controlled cutting forces. Installed by machinists and CNC operators in production and job-shop environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for grooving operations on steel, alloy steel, and similar materials where a carbide grade with PVD TiAlN coating provides the right balance of hardness and toughness. The Top Notch series mounting system is a right-hand configuration, designed to seat securely in compatible Top Notch toolholders. It is applicable to both roughing and finishing groove profiles within its specified depth-of-cut range of 5.00 mm to 10.00 mm (0.200 inch to 0.300 inch). Insert seat size 4 and insert size 4125 define the holder interface for this part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction with PVD TiAlN coating for wear and heat resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6.35 mm cutting width and 6.35 mm maximum depth of cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull radius corner profile at 3.18 mm (0.125 inch) radius\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePositive 10-degree rake angle with K-style chip breaker for controlled chip flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand insert orientation for standard Top Notch toolholder compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial grade C2 and C6 classification for versatile ferrous machining applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with Top Notch series toolholders accepting insert seat size 4 and insert style NR.

Before changing inserts, ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the machine is placed in a safe, locked-out state per shop safety procedures. Use the appropriate torque wrench and seating tool specified for the Top Notch clamping system to secure the insert without over-tightening. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping hardware for wear or debris before seating the new insert.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: NR\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\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: 6.35 mm (0.250 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6.35 mm (0.250 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.00 mm to 10.00 mm (0.200 inches to 0.300 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.18 mm (0.125 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\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\u003eChip Breaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: K\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: 0.453 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 55 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: C2, C6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23242105\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0485 pounds\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: 1818857\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KENNAMETAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51733189230898,"sku":"1818857","price":401.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/187b818503337346e294c57d03486e4b.jpg?v=1788752521","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/kennametal-1818857-grooving-insert-nr4125k-kc5025-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
