Kennametal 3051624 Indexable Grooving Blade Right Hand

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 3051624 is a right-hand indexable grooving blade designed for precision external grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built to the A4 series blade style A4M-M, it accepts insert seat size 2 inserts and is compatible with cartridge size 50 tooling systems. The blade delivers a minimum groove width of 0.079 inches (2.00 mm) and a maximum depth of cut of 0.55 inches (14.00 mm), making it well suited for tight-clearance grooving work in production machining environments. Machinists and toolroom professionals install this blade as part of a modular grooving system.

This grooving blade is intended for use in metalworking applications where controlled groove width and depth are critical. It fits into compatible size 50 cartridge holders and is appropriate for both production shop and job shop turning operations. The A4 series design supports repeatable insert indexing, which reduces setup time between cuts. Typical applications include external grooving, undercutting, and parting-adjacent operations on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. It is sold as a single blade per package.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the machine is locked out before handling or indexing inserts. Seat the blade securely in the compatible size 50 cartridge per the toolholder manufacturer's torque and clamping procedure. Inspect the insert seat for chips or debris before each insert index to maintain dimensional accuracy.
