Kennametal 1952755 Grooving Insert KC5010 Tialn 5.05mm

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1952755 is a solid carbide grooving insert with a TiAlN PVD coating, designed for external grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Assigned to the Series A4 toolholder system and carrying manufacturer grade KC5010, this insert delivers a 5.05 mm (0.1988 inch) cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 4.2 mm (0.1654 inch). The GMP chip breaker geometry produces a positive rake angle, promoting controlled chip formation across a range of workpiece materials. Licensed machinists and CNC operators working in production turning environments install and index this insert as a precision consumable.

This insert is suited for grooving, recessing, and parting on ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials where consistent chip control and tool life are required. The KC5010 grade with TiAlN coating performs across material grades C3 and C4, making it applicable in medium to roughing turning conditions. It carries a neutral hand orientation, compatible with straight toolholder setups. The A4 series designation indicates the matching toolholder interface required for proper seating and clamping.

Key Features

• KC5010 grade with TiAlN PVD coating for extended tool life on C3 and C4 material grades
• 5.05 mm cutting width with a maximum depth of cut range of 4.0 to 5.0 mm
• GMP chip breaker geometry with positive rake for controlled chip evacuation
• Corner radius of 0.40 mm (0.0157 inch) for defined groove edge geometry
• Neutral hand orientation for use in standard straight toolholder setups
• Multi-use insert indexed for multiple cutting edges per piece

Compatibility

Designed for use with Series A4 toolholders requiring insert size 0505M0. Verify toolholder clamping specifications against manufacturer catalog number A4G0505M05U04GMP prior to installation.

Installation Notes

Indexable carbide inserts are installed by qualified CNC machinists or toolroom technicians. Before changing inserts, lock out and de-energize the machine and confirm the spindle has fully stopped. Use the correct torx or clamp-screw driver to seat the insert firmly against the pocket locating surfaces — do not overtighten or force seating. Follow the toolholder manufacturer torque specification for the clamping screw and inspect the pocket for chips or wear before indexing to a fresh edge.
