Kennametal 1923833 Grooving Insert KC5025 3mm Carbide

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1923833 is a solid carbide grooving insert engineered for precision external and internal grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Carrying the KC5025 manufacturer grade with a PVD-applied TiAlN coating, this insert delivers a 3.00 mm cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 3.50 mm. The neutral hand orientation and positive rake geometry support clean chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces. The GMP chip breaker geometry is designed to control chip flow across a wide range of workpiece materials. Machinists and toolroom professionals working in production turning environments will recognize this insert as a direct-fit solution for the Series A4 toolholder system.

This insert is suited for grooving applications in both ferrous and non-ferrous machining where consistent groove width and depth repeatability are required. The TiAlN coating provides thermal resistance during dry or near-dry cutting conditions. With a corner radius of 0.20 mm and a full-length overall measurement of 0.7874 inches, the 1923833 fits production turning setups where tight groove tolerances are a priority. It is appropriate for use in general manufacturing, job shop, and high-volume CNC turning environments.

• 3.50 mm maximum depth of cut; effective range 3.00 to 4.00 mm
• GMP chip breaker geometry for controlled chip evacuation
• Positive rake angle reduces cutting forces and heat generation
• 0.20 mm corner radius for clean groove shoulders
• Neutral hand orientation for flexible mounting configurations

Compatibility

Designed for use with Series A4 grooving toolholders. Manufacturer catalog reference number A4G0300M03P02GMP. Confirm toolholder pocket specifications against insert dimensions before installation.

Installation Notes

Insert installation and indexing should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or replacing any cutting insert. Use the correct torque wrench and insert clamp screw specified by the toolholder manufacturer — do not over-torque the clamp screw. Inspect the toolholder pocket for wear or debris before seating the insert to ensure proper seating and accurate depth of cut.
