Kennametal 4050632 RCGK152FS KCU10 Carbide Profiling Insert

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 4050632 is a round carbide profiling insert in the K-LOCK series, designed for profiling and turning operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Manufactured to the RCGK152FS standard, it features a 3/16 inch (0.1870 inch) inscribed circle, a 0.2600 inch thickness, and a 0.0938 inch corner radius. The insert uses a PVD coating process and carries a positive rake angle of 7 degrees with a 5-degree relief angle. With four cutting edges and neutral hand orientation, it delivers efficient material removal across a broad range of workpiece materials. Installation is performed by licensed machinists and CNC tooling technicians working in precision turning applications.

This insert is suited for profiling and turning operations in both production and job-shop environments. It is compatible with a wide range of primary workpiece materials including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials, corresponding to ISO material groups P, M, K, N, S, and H. The K-LOCK holding method uses a clamp or pin retention system. It is packaged individually and sold in a minimum order quantity of 5 units. Typical applications include contour turning, finishing passes, and light roughing where a round insert geometry is preferred.

Key Features

• KCU10 carbide grade rated for ISO material groups P10, P20, M10, M20, K05, K20, N10, N20, S10, S20, and H10
• PVD coating process with positive rake (7 degrees) for reduced cutting forces
• Four usable cutting edges per insert for extended tooling value
• Clamp or pin holding method compatible with K-LOCK toolholders
• Neutral hand orientation for flexible mounting in right- or left-hand setups

Compatibility

Designed for use with K-LOCK series toolholders that accept RCGK-style round inserts. Meets dimensional standards RCGK152FS and RCGK040300FS (ISO code). Verify toolholder seat and clamp compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or replacing inserts. Seat the insert fully into the pocket and secure with the appropriate clamp or pin per the toolholder manufacturer's instructions. Inspect the insert pocket for wear or debris before each insert change to maintain accurate seating and runout.
