Kennametal 1865486 SPG424 KC5010 Carbide Turning Insert

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1865486 is a solid carbide turning insert in the SPG424 geometry, coated with TiAlN via a PVD process and graded KC5010 from the KENDEX series. It features a square insert shape with a 90-degree included angle, a 1/2-inch inscribed circle, 1/8-inch thickness, and a 1/16-inch corner radius. The flat-top chip breaker and honed cutting edge deliver high wear resistance across a broad range of workpiece materials including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium. Four cutting edges per insert and a positive rake geometry make this a cost-effective and versatile choice for high-volume turning operations.

This insert is suited for turning, facing, and boring applications in both production and job-shop environments. It performs on CNC lathes and turning centers handling steel and stainless steel workpieces where consistent surface finish and extended tool life are priorities. The KC5010 grade is characterized as offering high to moderate wear resistance combined with toughness, making it appropriate for both continuous and mildly interrupted cuts in steel, stainless steel, and cast iron. The insert is held by clamp-style toolholders compatible with the SPG seat geometry.

Key Features

• Solid carbide substrate with TiAlN PVD coating for thermal and wear resistance
• KC5010 grade: high-to-moderate wear resistance and toughness across steel, stainless, and cast iron
• Four usable cutting edges per insert for reduced tooling cost per edge
• Flat-top chip breaker with honed cutting edge and positive rake geometry
• Neutral hand orientation for flexible toolholder pairing
• Conforms to ANSI and ISO standards for drop-in replacement compatibility

Compatibility

Designed for clamp-style toolholders accepting the SPG seat geometry. ANSI insert code SPG424 and ISO insert code SPG120316. Compatible with turning, facing, and boring operations on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, superalloys, and titanium workpieces.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Always de-energize and lock out the machine before indexing or replacing inserts. Inspect the toolholder pocket and clamping screw for wear or damage before seating a new insert. Follow the toolholder manufacturer's clamping torque guidance and verify insert seating before resuming cuts.
