Kennametal 3324724 Carbide Grooving Insert

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 3324724 is a carbide grooving insert designed for turning and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Manufactured from KCK20 carbide grade, this insert delivers consistent edge performance in grooving applications where dimensional accuracy and tool life are critical. It is suited for use by machinists and tooling specialists working in job shops, production machining environments, and precision manufacturing facilities. The insert follows the A4G0805M08U08B designation, encoding geometry, width, and clamping style for straightforward identification and replacement ordering.

This insert is applied in external grooving and recessing operations on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. It fits compatible Kennametal grooving toolholders designed for the A4G insert platform. Typical install scenarios include production turning lines and repair machining operations where reliable groove geometry must be maintained across multiple passes. Machinists sourcing this insert by MPN can match it directly to existing toolholder setups without geometry adjustment.

Key Features

• KCK20 carbide grade provides wear resistance suited for grooving applications
• A4G0805M08U08B designation encodes geometry and clamping interface for precise toolholder matching
• Consistent insert geometry supports repeatable groove width and depth across production runs
• Compact form factor at 0.01 pounds allows easy handling and indexing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement insert for Kennametal grooving toolholder systems accepting the A4G insert platform. Confirm toolholder insert pocket specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Grooving inserts are seated and clamped by qualified machinists following the toolholder manufacturer torque and clamping procedures. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping screw for wear or debris before seating a new insert. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and machine guarding requirements during all tooling changes.
