Kennametal 1952760 Grooving Insert KC5010 3mm Tialn

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1952760 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision external grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Running in the A4 series with the GMP chip breaker geometry, this insert features a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process, delivering improved wear resistance and heat resistance at the cutting edge. The insert has a 3.00 mm cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 3.50 mm. The KC5010 grade is a PVD-coated carbide grade suited for a range of ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. Neutral hand orientation makes this insert compatible with standard grooving toolholders without directional restriction. Installation and use are handled by machinists and CNC tooling technicians in production and job-shop environments.

This insert is intended for grooving, parting, and light turning applications on turning centers and manual lathes equipped with compatible A4-series grooving toolholders. It performs well in applications requiring tight groove width tolerances and controlled chip evacuation. The GMP chip breaker geometry supports positive-rake cutting action, helping manage chip flow during moderate-depth grooving passes. Material grades C3 and C4 indicate suitability for cast iron and general-purpose machining applications at a range of cutting speeds.

• GMP chip breaker geometry with positive rake for controlled chip evacuation
• Neutral hand orientation for use in standard right-hand or left-hand grooving holders
• 0.20 mm corner radius for defined groove shoulder geometry
• A4 series designation ensures compatibility with matching KENNAMETAL toolholder shanks

Compatibility

Designed for use with A4-series grooving toolholders. Catalog reference number A4G0300M03P02GMP. Verify toolholder pocket specifications match the G300 insert size before installation.

Installation Notes

Insert seating and clamping should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Ensure the toolholder pocket and clamping screw are free of chips and debris before seating the insert. Apply the manufacturer-recommended clamping torque for the toolholder series as specified in the toolholder documentation — do not overtighten, as carbide inserts are brittle and can fracture under excessive clamping stress.
