Kennametal 1952767 Grooving Insert KC5025 4mm Carbide

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1952767 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Carrying the KC5025 manufacturer grade with a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process, this insert delivers wear resistance and edge integrity in steel, stainless, and cast iron applications. The neutral hand orientation and positive rake geometry support consistent chip control through the GMP chip breaker design. With a 4 mm cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 3.5 mm, it suits fine-tolerance groove profiles in production turning environments. Machinists and CNC operators install this insert as a direct-fit component in compatible A4-series toolholders.

The 1952767 is suited for external and internal grooving operations in both light and moderate-duty turning applications. The GMP chip breaker geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation in continuous and interrupted cuts. The 0.40 mm corner radius supports groove base finishing while maintaining edge stability at recommended feed rates. This insert fits Series A4 toolholding systems and is appropriate for use on short-run and production-volume turned components where tight groove tolerances are required. It is available in a single-unit package with a minimum order quantity of 10 units per purchase.

Installation Notes

Install and remove carbide grooving inserts with the machine spindle fully stopped and the machine locked out per shop lockout/tagout procedures. Use the correct insert seat size 4 seating pocket and verify the insert is fully seated and clamped before resuming operation. Inspect the insert seat for chips or debris before each insert change to prevent premature edge failure. Toolholder clamping hardware should be checked for wear and proper torque as specified by the toolholder manufacturer documentation.
