Kennametal 1865452 SPG322 KC5010 Carbide Turning Insert

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1865452 is a solid carbide turning insert in the SPG322 geometry, designed for high-performance metal cutting on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries the KC5010 grade designation with a PVD-applied TiAlN coating that delivers high wear resistance across a range of workpiece materials. The insert features a 3/8-inch inscribed circle, a 1/8-inch thickness, a 1/32-inch corner radius, and a 90-degree square shape (ANSI code SPG322 / ISO code SPG090308). The flat-top chip breaker geometry and positive rake angle support efficient chip flow in continuous and light interrupted cuts. It is sold in a package quantity of one, with a minimum order quantity of five.

This insert is suited for turning, facing, and boring operations on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium. It belongs to the KENDEX series and is engineered for applications where high wear resistance and moderate toughness are required. The neutral hand orientation makes it adaptable to standard right-hand and left-hand toolholders within compatible clamp-style holders. Typical users include CNC machinists and toolroom technicians working in production or job-shop environments on ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials.

Key Features

• KC5010 grade with PVD TiAlN coating for high wear resistance on steel, stainless steel, and cast iron
• Square insert shape (SPG) with 90-degree included angle and four usable cutting edges
• Positive rake angle and flat-top chip breaker for efficient chip control in turning and facing
• Honed cutting edge style reduces micro-chipping at entry and exit
• Neutral hand orientation compatible with standard clamp-style toolholders
• Meets ANSI and ISO insert standards for broad toolholder compatibility

Compatibility

Designed for use in clamp-style toolholders accepting SPG-geometry inserts with an ANSI size code of 322 and an ISO size code of 090308. Compatible with turning, facing, and boring applications on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium workpieces per ANSI and ISO insert standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed CNC machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or indexing the insert. Secure the insert using the appropriate clamp and torque the clamp screw to the toolholder manufacturer specification. Inspect the insert seat and clamp for wear or debris before each seating to prevent improper seating and premature edge failure.
