Kennametal 1923835 Grooving Insert KC5010 5mm Series A4

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1923835 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision external grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Manufactured in the G500GMP style with a KC5010 grade and PVD-applied TiAlN coating, this insert delivers wear resistance and thermal stability in demanding cutting environments. It features a 5.00 mm cutting width, a maximum depth of cut of 4.20 mm, and a positive rake geometry with a GMP chip breaker. The neutral hand orientation suits a wide range of standard grooving toolholders. Installation is performed by machinists and CNC setup technicians working with precision turning equipment.

This insert is suited for grooving and cut-off applications on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces in both production and job-shop environments. The KC5010 carbide grade with TiAlN finish is selected for ISO material grades C3 and C4, making it applicable to a range of steels and cast irons. The GMP chip breaker geometry promotes controlled chip evacuation in shallow-to-moderate depth grooving passes. The insert belongs to the Kennametal Series A4 system, which uses a standardized seat and clamping interface common across compatible A4-series toolholders. Manufacturers catalog number A4G0500M05P04GMP may be used for cross-reference with Kennametal tooling catalogs.

Installation Notes

Insert seating and replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist with the machine powered off and the spindle fully stopped. Ensure the insert pocket is clean and free of chips or debris before seating the insert. Use the appropriate Kennametal torx or clamping key for the A4 toolholder system — do not overtighten with non-specified tools. Follow your facility safety protocols and machine tool manufacturer guidelines when changing inserts on CNC turning equipment.
