It carries a 35-degree diamond (rhombic) shape with a neutral hand orientation, a 3\/8-inch inscribed circle, and a 1\/64-inch corner radius. The insert seats with negative rake and negative side clearance, making it well-suited for interrupted cuts and demanding turning applications. Four cutting edges are available per insert. Intended for use by machinists and CNC turning specialists, the 2229696 fits within the KENNAMETAL KENLOC toolholding system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is designed for turning, facing, boring, back turning, and back boring operations on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium workpieces. The MS chip breaker geometry is rated for roughing and medium machining. The KC5010 grade delivers high to moderate wear resistance with adequate toughness across steel (P), stainless steel (M), and cast iron (K) material classes. It is appropriate for production turning in both manual and CNC environments where consistent chip control and extended tool life are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVNMG331MS geometry with 35-degree diamond shape and 1\/64-inch corner radius for controlled cutting engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTiAlN PVD coating in KC5010 grade provides high wear resistance on steel, stainless steel, and cast iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMS chip breaker supports roughing and medium machining operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFour usable cutting edges per insert reduce tooling cost per edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeutral hand insert compatible with KENLOC clamp and pin holding systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum depth of cut of 0.0492 inches (1.25 mm) for medium to roughing passes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement for KENLOC series toolholders accepting VNMG331 geometry inserts.

The machine spindle must be stopped and all energy sources locked out before indexing or replacing inserts. Use appropriate insert seating tools to ensure full contact between the insert and pocket; do not overtighten clamping screws beyond tool manufacturer torque guidelines. Inspect the insert pocket and shim for wear or damage before seating a new insert.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eANSI Insert Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: VNMG331\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISO Insert Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: VNMG160404\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: V - Diamond (Rhombic) 35 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: KC5010\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiAlN, PVD Process\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInscribed Circle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches (0.3750 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/64 inches (0.0156 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16.61 mm (0.6538 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inches (0.1875 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches (0.3750 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.150 inches (3.81 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0492 inches (1.25 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 13 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelief Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSide Clearance\u003c\/strong\u003e: Negative\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Neutral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Cutting Edges\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChip Breaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: MS (Roughing and Medium Machining)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Edge Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Honed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: C3, C4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Holding Method\u003c\/strong\u003e: Clamp, Pin\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: KENLOC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Stainless Steel, Superalloys, Titanium, Cast Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-Use Applications\u003c\/strong\u003e: Turning, Facing, Boring, Back Turning, Back Boring\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI, ISO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 insert per package (minimum order: 5)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: KENNAMETAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2229696\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KENNAMETAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51747214983474,"sku":"2229696","price":206.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/cfca84fe9788184f04620baaf5aaff30.jpg?v=1788877548","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/kennametal-2229696-turning-insert-vnmg331ms-kc5010-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
