The insert carries the KC5010 manufacturer grade with a PVD-applied AlTiN coating, which provides thermal resistance and wear protection in demanding cutting conditions. It delivers a 1.5 mm cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 4.06 mm, making it well suited for precision grooving in steel, alloy steel, and similar workpiece materials rated C3 and C4. A clamp-style holding method secures the insert firmly in compatible Top Notch toolholders. Installation and use require a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis insert fits into the Top Notch series tooling system and is intended for metric-measurement applications. Its right-hand orientation specifies the cutting direction and dictates toolholder selection. The NGD insert style and 2M150 insert size designate compatible clamping blocks and toolholders within the Top Notch platform. Typical applications include grooving operations on ferrous and hardened materials where PVD-coated carbide grades perform reliably. This insert is a single-use, non-multi-use style and does not feature a full radius nose — the corner radius is 0.19 mm. The K chip breaker geometry is suited for controlled chip formation in medium-depth grooving passes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction with PVD AlTiN coating for thermal and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.5 mm cutting width with a maximum depth of cut of 4.06 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand insert orientation for compatibility with right-hand Top Notch toolholders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eK chip breaker geometry for controlled chip formation during grooving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClamp-style holding method for secure, repeatable insert positioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorner radius of 0.19 mm for close-tolerance grooving work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with KENNAMETAL Top Notch series clamping toolholders accepting NGD-style inserts in the 2M150 insert size.

Use the appropriate torque wrench and clamp screw specified by the toolholder manufacturer — do not overtighten, as carbide inserts are brittle and can fracture. Inspect the clamp, shim, and seat for wear or debris before seating the new insert. Verify correct insert orientation before resuming cutting operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: NGD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Top Notch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: KC5010\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: AlTiN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating Process\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 mm (0.0591 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.06 mm (0.1600 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.00 mm to 5.00 mm (0.1500 to 0.2000 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.56 mm (0.2190 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.84 mm (0.151 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.19 mm (0.0075 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 55 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChip Breaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: K\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2M150\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: C3, C4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Holding Method\u003c\/strong\u003e: Clamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurement Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metric\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9.6 inches length, 5.2 inches width, 1.7 inches height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.009 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23242105\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: KENNAMETAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3397243\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KENNAMETAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51733815820594,"sku":"3397243","price":166.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/817f9f4d146307b3631d0addd8405e98_31278ce3-d025-4563-ba93-a74fe9899976.jpg?v=1788759414","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/kennametal-3397243-grooving-insert-kc5010-altin-1-5mm","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
