Kennametal 2599765 Grooving Insert NG2062 KC5025 Carbide

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 2599765 is a solid carbide grooving insert in the Top Notch series, designed for external grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries a PVD-applied TiAlN coating for improved wear resistance and heat tolerance at the cutting edge. The insert is right-hand oriented with a neutral rake, a 1.58 mm cutting width, and a maximum depth of cut of 2.79 mm. The KC5025 grade is suited for a range of workpiece materials, and the NG2062 geometry provides consistent chip control. Licensed machinists and CNC operators install this insert as a direct replacement in compatible Top Notch toolholders.

This insert fits into Top Notch series grooving toolholders and is used in production turning environments for grooving, parting, and profiling operations. It is appropriate for both light-duty and moderate-duty cutting conditions on CNC lathes. The 55-degree included angle and 3-degree lead angle support controlled entry and chip evacuation in tight groove applications. The insert is sold individually per package, with a minimum order quantity of 5 units, making it a standard production consumable for shops running repetitive grooving cycles.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist with the machine spindle fully stopped and all power isolated before changing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or clamping key specified for the Top Notch toolholder to seat the insert fully and evenly. Do not overtighten the clamping screw, as this can damage the carbide insert body. Inspect the toolholder pocket and clamping components for wear or debris before seating a new insert.
