Kennametal 1832315 Turning Insert CNMG644MP KC5010 Carbide

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1832315 is a CNMG644MP turning insert in the KC5010 grade, designed for high-performance turning, facing, and boring operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built from solid carbide with a PVD-applied TiAlN coating, this insert delivers high wear resistance across a broad range of cutting conditions while maintaining edge toughness during interrupted or variable-depth passes. It features an 80-degree diamond (rhombic) insert shape, a neutral hand orientation, and an MP chip breaker geometry optimized for roughing and medium machining. Cutting edge preparation includes a chamfered and honed profile for reliable engagement. Licensed HVAC techs will not be handling this part — it is installed by machinists and CNC operators in metal-cutting environments.

The 1832315 is suited for turning steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium workpieces where consistent chip control and tool life are priorities. Its KENLOC series designation indicates compatibility with KENNAMETAL KENLOC-style toolholders that accept CNMG-style inserts with clamp or pin holding methods. The MP chip breaker geometry handles variable stock conditions and makes this insert a practical choice for both production turning and job-shop applications on ferrous and exotic-alloy components.

Key Features

• KC5010 grade carbide with PVD TiAlN coating for high wear resistance on steel, stainless steel, and superalloys
• CNMG644MP geometry with 80-degree diamond shape and MP chip breaker for roughing and medium machining
• Neutral hand orientation supports use in both right-hand and left-hand toolholders
• Chamfered and honed cutting edge for stable engagement and reduced chipping risk
• 4 usable cutting edges per insert for extended tooling economy
• Clamp and pin holding compatibility with KENLOC-series toolholders

Compatibility

Designed for use in KENLOC-series toolholders accepting CNMG-style inserts with clamp or pin holding. Conforms to ANSI insert code CNMG644 and ISO insert code CNMG190616. Primary workpiece materials include steel (P), stainless steel (M), cast iron (K), superalloys, and titanium (S). Multi-use application covers turning, facing, and boring operations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or CNC operator. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or indexing inserts. Use the appropriate KENLOC clamp hardware and torque the clamp screw to the toolholder manufacturer specifications — do not over-torque, as this can crack the insert. Inspect the pocket and locating pin for wear or debris before seating each new cutting edge.
