Kennametal 2263415 Grooving Insert KC5010 6mm Carbide

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 2263415 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision grooving and parting operations on CNC turning centers and lathes. Manufactured to the G insert style in Series A4, this insert carries the GMP chip breaker geometry and a PVD-applied TiAlN coating for thermal resistance and extended tool life in demanding cutting environments. The cutting width measures 6.00 mm (0.2362 inches) with a maximum depth of cut of 4.80 mm (0.1890 inches). The neutral hand orientation makes it suitable for straight-in grooving applications. Licensed machinists and CNC operators working in production shops and job shops are the primary installers of this insert.

This insert is suited for grooving, parting, and profiling operations in ferrous and non-ferrous materials where controlled chip evacuation and edge stability are required. The KC5010 grade with PVD TiAlN coating is appropriate for finishing to light roughing passes in steel, stainless steel, and cast iron at moderate to high cutting speeds. The positive rake geometry and GMP chip breaker support reliable chip control in tight-tolerance groove profiles, particularly in automated and high-volume turning applications.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with PVD TiAlN coating for heat and wear resistance
• 6.00 mm cutting width with a maximum depth of cut of 4.80 mm
• GMP chip breaker geometry for controlled chip evacuation during grooving
• Positive rake angle reduces cutting forces and supports finish quality
• Corner radius of 0.80 mm (0.0315 inches) for defined groove edge geometry
• Neutral hand orientation suitable for straight-in grooving setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement grooving insert for Series A4 toolholders accepting G-style inserts with the G0600M0 insert size designation. Verify toolholder seat geometry and clamping style before installation.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed by qualified CNC machinists or tooling technicians following the toolholder manufacturer's torque and clamping specifications. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Inspect the toolholder seat and clamping screw for wear or debris prior to seating the insert. Do not exceed the manufacturer-specified maximum depth of cut for the insert grade and chip breaker combination.
