Kennametal 1832325 SNMG432MP KC5010 Turning Insert

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1832325 is a solid carbide turning insert in the SNMG432MP geometry, coated with TiAlN via a PVD process and graded KC5010. It belongs to the KENLOC series and is designed for single-point turning, facing, and boring operations on CNC and manual lathes. The insert features a 90-degree square shape with a neutral hand orientation, a 0.5-inch inscribed circle, and a 1/32-inch corner radius. The chamfered and honed cutting edge style combined with the MP chip breaker geometry supports controlled chip flow across a range of metal-cutting applications. The negative rake angle and zero-degree relief angle are characteristic of SNMG-style inserts held by clamp and pin systems.

This insert is rated for primary use on steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium, corresponding to ISO material codes P, M, and S. Secondary workpiece material codes include N, P, and S, expanding its range into additional ferrous and non-ferrous applications. With 8 usable cutting edges per insert, the 1832325 is suited for production turning environments where insert economy and consistent edge performance are priorities. Typical applications include external and internal diameter turning, facing passes, and light boring operations in job shop and production machining settings.

Key Features

• TiAlN coating applied via PVD process — supports elevated cutting temperatures encountered in steel and stainless steel machining
• MP chip breaker geometry for controlled chip formation across varying feed rates and depths of cut
• 8 cutting edges per insert for extended service life and reduced tooling cost per edge
• Chamfered and honed cutting edge style for edge stability and resistance to micro-chipping
• Negative rake angle with clamp and pin holding method compatible with KENLOC-style toolholders
• Meets ANSI and ISO standards; ISO code SNMG432

Compatibility

Designed for use in KENLOC-series toolholders that accept SNMG432 inserts with clamp and pin holding. Compatible with toolholder systems designed for SNMG-style inserts per ANSI and ISO specifications. Primary workpiece materials are steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician with the machine powered down and spindle locked. Seat the insert fully in the pocket before engaging the clamp to avoid rocking or misalignment. Inspect the insert pocket and clamp for wear or damage before indexing to a fresh cutting edge. Follow the toolholder manufacturer's clamping torque guidelines to avoid cracking the carbide substrate.
