Kennametal 1952758 Grooving Insert KC5010 Tialn 5.05mm

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1952758 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision external and internal grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Running in the KC5010 grade with a PVD-applied TiAlN coating, it delivers wear resistance and thermal stability in steel and cast iron applications. The insert features a 5.05 mm cutting width, a maximum depth of cut of 4.2 mm, and a neutral hand orientation. It carries a GMP chip breaker geometry and a positive rake configuration. Machinists and CNC operators working in production turning environments install this insert in compatible A4-series toolholders.

This insert is sized for metric applications within the A4 series toolholding system. The 0505M0 insert size and 0.80 mm corner radius make it well suited for grooving passes requiring consistent chip control in medium to fine-depth cuts. Typical applications include groove profiling and parting-adjacent operations on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces in job shop and production turning environments. The GMP chip breaker supports reliable chip evacuation at moderate feed rates, reducing recutting risk on unmanned or semi-attended CNC turning cells.

Compatibility

Designed for use with A4-series grooving toolholders accepting the G0505M0 insert style. Verify toolholder pocket geometry and clamping style before installation. No specific compatible model numbers were provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Grooving inserts should be installed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or replacing inserts. Use the manufacturer-specified clamping screw torque procedure for the A4-series toolholder in use. Inspect the pocket and clamping surfaces for chips or debris before seating the insert to ensure proper registration and cutting-edge alignment.
