It is engineered for precision metal removal in CNC and manual turning operations, delivering consistent performance across demanding cutting conditions. The insert features a 55-degree diamond shape, a neutral hand orientation, and a honed cutting edge for controlled chip formation. With 2 cutting edges per insert and a screw-on holding method, it fits standard toolholders used in production turning environments. Licensed machinists and CNC operators typically select this insert for high-heat, abrasion-prone applications where coating durability is critical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is designed for turning, facing, boring, back turning, and back boring operations. Its primary workpiece materials are stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium  -  material groups M and S under ISO classification. The LF chip breaker geometry supports light to medium cutting conditions where chip control and surface finish are priorities. The screw-on insert style makes it compatible with DCMT-format toolholders commonly used in both shop and production floor settings for external and internal turning work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKC5025 grade with PVD TiAlN coating optimized for stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium (ISO material groups M and S)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e55-degree diamond insert shape (code D) with 7-degree relief angle and positive rake for free-cutting action\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLF chip breaker geometry with honed cutting edge for controlled chip formation in light-to-medium cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2 cutting edges per insert with screw-on holding method for secure, repeatable indexing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum depth of cut of 1.25 mm (0.0492 inches) for precise finishing and semi-finishing passes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ANSI and ISO standards; multi-use application including facing, boring, back turning, and back boring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a screw-on replacement insert for DCMT-format toolholders conforming to ANSI and ISO standards.

Power down and lock out the machine spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the appropriate Torx or hex key for the screw-on clamp to secure the insert without overtightening, which can crack the carbide body. Inspect the toolholder pocket and seating surface for chips or burrs before seating a new insert.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: DCMT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndustry Standard Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: DCMT3252LF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: KC5025\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiAlN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating Process\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Diamond 55 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChip Breaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: LF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Neutral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake\u003c\/strong\u003e: Positive\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelief Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Edge Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Honed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Cutting Edges\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Holding Method\u003c\/strong\u003e: Screw-On\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\u003eInsert Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11.63 mm (0.9156 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/32 inches (0.1563 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/32 inches (0.0313 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1732 inches (4.40 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.25 mm (0.0492 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel, Superalloys, Titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: M, S (ISO)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: C2, C6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTolerance Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: M\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClearance Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: C\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI, ISO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0108 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: 2425846\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KENNAMETAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51741318021426,"sku":"2425846","price":170.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/92e8ff1dce8004fc5935d3a6811c2a9e_66f47c90-e96a-4553-a7d8-da68590ce14d.jpg?v=1788830747","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/kennametal-2425846-turning-insert-dcmt3252lf-kc5025","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
