Kennametal 1937605 Turning Insert CPCA211 KC5025 Carbide

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1937605 is a solid carbide multi-directional turning insert designed for precision metal cutting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built to insert style CPCA211 with a micrograin carbide substrate and manufacturer grade KC5025, this insert delivers consistent edge performance across a range of workpiece materials. The physical vapor deposition (PVD) titanium nitride coating enhances surface hardness and wear resistance while maintaining a sharp cutting edge. A corner radius of 0.015 inches and an 11-degree relief angle make this insert well-suited for finishing and light-to-medium roughing passes where dimensional accuracy is required.

This insert is intended for use in multi-directional turning applications in production machining environments, including both roughing and finishing operations on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The KC5025 grade is a PVD-coated carbide grade recognized for toughness in interrupted cuts and general turning. It is typically installed by machinists and tooling technicians in job shop and production manufacturing settings where reliable insert performance and tool life consistency are priorities.

Key Features

• Insert style CPCA211 for multi-directional turning compatibility
• Solid carbide micrograin substrate for edge stability and wear resistance
• KC5025 manufacturer grade with PVD titanium nitride coating
• 0.015-inch corner radius for precision finish passes
• 11-degree relief angle reduces flank wear in continuous cuts
• Non-full-radius geometry suitable for profiling and facing operations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct tooling option for CPCA211-style insert seats on compatible turning tool holders and boring bars accepting this insert geometry and grade specification.

Installation Notes

Installation of turning inserts should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician with the spindle at a complete stop and the machine in a locked-out, tagged-out state per applicable OSHA and facility safety procedures. Use the appropriate torx or hex key to the tool holder manufacturer's recommended seating procedure to avoid insert cracking or improper seating. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping components for wear or debris before seating the new insert. Never exceed the recommended depth of cut or feed rate parameters specified by KENNAMETAL for the KC5025 grade in your material application.
