Carrying the KCU25 manufacturer grade and an AlTiN PVD coating, this insert handles demanding cutting conditions with strong wear resistance and thermal stability. The neutral hand orientation makes it adaptable to a wide range of toolholder setups. Key cutting geometry is defined by a 3.00 mm cutting width, a 2.90 mm maximum depth of cut, and a 0.40 mm corner radius with a positive rake angle and GUP chip breaker style. It belongs to Kennametal Series A4 and suits machinists who need consistent, repeatable grooving performance on steel, cast iron, and similar workpiece materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is intended for grooving and parting applications on production turning equipment. The A4G insert style with GUP chip breaker geometry is suited to finish and semi-finish grooving passes where chip control and surface finish are priorities. Shops running metric-dimensioned tooling programs will find the 3.00 mm cutting width and overall length of approximately 20.00 mm (0.7874 inches) compatible with standard A4-series toolholder pockets. It is sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKCU25 carbide grade with AlTiN PVD coating for elevated wear and heat resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3.00 mm cutting width with 2.90 mm maximum depth of cut for controlled grooving\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGUP chip breaker geometry promotes positive chip formation and evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePositive rake angle reduces cutting forces on workpiece and toolholder\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.40 mm corner radius balances edge strength with groove geometry accuracy\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeutral hand orientation fits both right- and left-hand toolholder configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement insert for Kennametal Series A4 grooving toolholders requiring an A4G0300GUP insert style with a 3.00 mm cutting width.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a qualified machinist or CNC toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or replacing inserts. Use the appropriate Torx or insert-clamp wrench specified by the toolholder manufacturer to secure the insert; do not overtighten by hand force alone. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping surfaces for chips or debris before seating the new insert to ensure proper contact and repeatable tool geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.00 mm (0.1181 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.90 mm (0.1142 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.00 mm to 3.00 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.40 mm (0.0157 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.7874 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: A4G\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Neutral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake\u003c\/strong\u003e: Positive\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChip Breaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: GUP\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: KCU25\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: C2, C6\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\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: A4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0300\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurement Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metric\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-use Tool\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23242105\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 3781254\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KENNAMETAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51732332183858,"sku":"3781254","price":531.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ce7ee0313cca80cefb249f530827b0fb.jpg?v=1788741712","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/kennametal-3781254-grooving-insert-kcu25-3mm-carbide-altin","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
