Kennametal 2599571 Grooving Insert KC5010 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 2599571 is a solid carbide grooving insert in the Top Notch series, designed for precision grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process, delivering high heat resistance and extended tool life in demanding cutting environments. The insert features a right-hand cutting orientation with a 0.79 mm cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 1.27 mm, making it well suited for shallow, tight-tolerance grooves. Manufactured to grade KC5010, this insert targets applications requiring consistent edge integrity at moderate to high cutting speeds. Installation is performed by qualified machinists and CNC tooling technicians.

This insert is intended for use in light to medium grooving applications on ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials consistent with C3 and C4 material grades. The Top Notch series platform is a common toolholding system, and this insert seats into compatible Top Notch style toolholders. The neutral rake geometry and 55-degree included angle support controlled chip flow in finish and semi-finish grooving passes. It is sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 5 units per order.

Compatibility

Designed for use in Top Notch series compatible toolholders. Refer to the KENNAMETAL Top Notch toolholder selection guide to confirm proper seat and clamping fitment before installation.

Installation Notes

Grooving inserts of this type are seated and clamped by qualified CNC machinists or tooling technicians. Before changing inserts, power down the machine and follow lockout/tagout procedures per applicable OSHA and facility safety standards. Ensure the toolholder seat and clamping screw threads are clean and free of chips before seating the insert. Do not exceed the maximum depth of cut rating for this insert grade.
