Kennametal 1952735 Grooving Insert KC5025 Tialn Series A4

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1952735 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision external and internal grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Carrying the KC5025 grade with a PVD-applied TiAlN coating, this insert delivers wear resistance and thermal stability suited to interrupted cuts and varying feed conditions. The neutral hand orientation provides versatile mounting in standard A4-series toolholders. With a 4.05 mm cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 3.50 mm, it is sized for medium-width groove applications across a range of workpiece materials. The GMN chip breaker geometry promotes controlled chip evacuation in production turning environments. Licensed machinists and CNC operators are the primary installers of this tooling component.

This insert is suited for grooving, parting, and profile turning operations on ferrous and non-ferrous materials in both production and job-shop environments. The KC5025 grade is positioned for finishing to semi-finishing cuts where edge stability and coating durability are priorities. The A4 series designation corresponds to a standard insert seat size of 4, making it compatible with A4-style grooving toolholders and cartridges commonly used in modern CNC turning setups.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the turret is in a safe index position before changing inserts. Use the appropriate torque wrench and clamping screw specified by the toolholder manufacturer — do not overtighten. Inspect the insert seat and clamping surfaces for chips or debris before seating the new insert.
