It carries a PVD-applied TiAlN coating for heat resistance and extended tool life in demanding cutting conditions. The insert has a left-hand orientation with a 4.80 mm (0.1890 inch) cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 3.81 mm (0.1500 inch). Grade KC5010 is optimized for steel and cast iron applications requiring a tough, wear-resistant edge. The K chip breaker geometry promotes positive rake cutting action, reducing cutting forces on workpieces and toolholders. Machinists and CNC operators install this insert as a direct replacement or planned tooling component in Top Notch-compatible holders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for external grooving, recessing, and undercut operations in residential and industrial machine shop environments. It fits Top Notch series insert seats of size 3 and is intended for use in compatible KENNAMETAL Top Notch grooving toolholders. The NG insert style with an included angle of 55 degrees and a 0.57 mm corner radius (0.0225 inch) makes it appropriate for medium to fine grooving passes on steel and harder ferrous materials classified under material grades C3 and C4. Left-hand orientation dictates holder selection and cut direction before setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction with PVD TiAlN coating for wear and heat resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4.80 mm cutting width (0.1890 inch) with a maximum depth of cut range of 3.00 to 4.00 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKC5010 grade suited for steel and cast iron material grades C3 and C4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eK chip breaker with positive rake angle of 10 degrees for controlled chip flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLeft-hand insert orientation with 55-degree included angle and 0.57 mm corner radius\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTop Notch series seat size 3 for direct fitment in compatible toolholders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in KENNAMETAL Top Notch series grooving toolholders accepting insert seat size 3 and the NG insert style.

The machine spindle must be fully stopped and the turret indexed to a safe position before seating or replacing the insert. Ensure the insert seat is clean and free of chips before locking the insert, as debris under the seating surface will cause insert rocking and premature failure. Verify left-hand holder orientation matches the programmed cut direction before resuming operation.\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\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Top Notch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\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\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: 4.80 mm (0.1890 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.81 mm (0.1500 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.00 to 4.00 mm (0.1500 to 0.2000 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.57 mm (0.0225 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\u003eIncluded Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 55 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\u003eInsert Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3189\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Seat Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\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: 0.1764 pounds\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: 1818919\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KENNAMETAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51732719730994,"sku":"1818919","price":221.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1c47e2d32cd7daa8dbaf7eab3f0058e0.jpg?v=1788746006","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/kennametal-1818919-grooving-insert-ng3189k-kc5010-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
