Kennametal 2526385 Milling Insert KC410M Solid Carbide

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 2526385 is a solid carbide milling insert carrying ISO designation KEGT25L508PEERLDJ, manufactured to the KC410M grade with a PVD-applied Titanium Diboride (TiB2) coating. This single-sided, parallelogram-shaped insert belongs to the KG series and is engineered for milling operations in non-ferrous metal applications. It measures 0.575 inches wide and 0.205 inches thick, with a 1/32-inch corner radius that supports controlled chip engagement and edge integrity during cutting cycles. Licensed machinists and CNC tooling technicians install this insert into compatible KG-series milling toolholders as part of indexable cutting systems.

This insert is suited for milling non-ferrous metals such as aluminum alloys, copper, and similar workpiece materials where a sharp, low-friction cutting edge is critical for surface finish and tool life. The TiB2 PVD coating reduces built-up edge formation on non-ferrous materials, making it a practical choice for high-speed face milling, shoulder milling, and similar operations in production machining environments. It is applicable in both CNC machining centers and manual milling setups where the KG insert system is specified.

Key Features

• KC410M solid carbide grade with PVD Titanium Diboride (TiB2) coating optimized for non-ferrous metal cutting
• Parallelogram insert shape (KG series) for positive engagement in compatible toolholders
• 1/32-inch (0.0315 inch / 0.80 mm) corner radius for controlled edge contact
• Single-sided insert design for consistent seating and repeatable indexing
• Inscribed circle of 0.445 inches and width of 0.575 inches support stable clamping in the pocket
• Insert size code 2508 within the KG series for straightforward toolholder matching

Compatibility

Designed for use in KENNAMETAL KG-series milling toolholders that accept the KEGT25L508PEERLDJ insert geometry. Primary workpiece material compatibility is non-ferrous metals (ISO material code N). Confirm toolholder pocket specifications against the insert size code 2508 before installation.

Installation Notes

Indexable milling insert installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician with the spindle fully powered down and the machine locked out per applicable safety procedures. Use the correct torx or hex key specified by the toolholder manufacturer when seating the insert clamp screw — do not overtighten by feel alone; follow the toolholder manufacturer's clamping procedure. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or debris before seating the insert, as contamination will affect seating accuracy and edge life. Verify insert orientation matches the required cutting direction before resuming operation.
