Part of the Top Notch series, it carries a KCU25 manufacturer grade and an aluminum titanium nitride (AlTiN) finish applied via physical vapor deposition (PVD). The insert handles both internal and external thread forms and is ground for left-hand cutting direction. With a 29-degree included angle and a cutting tip width of 0.0476 inches, it suits precision threading operations on lathes and turning centers where consistent thread form and tool life are priorities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for threading applications in metalworking environments, including job shops, production machining, and maintenance repair operations. The Stub Acme thread standard is common in linear motion components, power screws, and feed mechanisms where a full Acme form is impractical due to space or load constraints. The left-hand orientation serves applications requiring reverse-thread workpieces. Licensed machinists and CNC operators are the primary installers of this insert type.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKCU25 carbide grade with AlTiN PVD finish for wear resistance and heat tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStub Acme thread form at 8 TPI with a 29-degree included angle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeft-hand insert hand for reverse-thread and left-hand helix applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutting tip width of 0.0476 inches for controlled thread root geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with both internal and external thread cutting operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop Notch series insert style for use with compatible Top Notch toolholders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with Kennametal Top Notch series toolholders that accept NAS-style inserts in size 3.

Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing the insert. Use the appropriate torx or clamp screw driver specified for the toolholder to secure the insert without overtightening the clamping mechanism. Inspect the insert seat and clamping components for chips or debris before mounting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: NAS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: KCU25\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stub Acme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Internal and External\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Left Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInternal Pitch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 TPI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 29 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Top Notch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish Coating\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 Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Cutting Tip\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0476 inches (1.21 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0050 inches (0.13 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTip to Top of Insert\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1492 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1949 inches (4.95 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9.6 x 5.2 x 1.7 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.025 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23291804\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: 4109638\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KENNAMETAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51755395514674,"sku":"4109638","price":247.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d2e8065add1cae6ef11e2b2b1ff679e9_2250aa1e-2e44-4b19-ba7b-308e5f5ba4a5.jpg?v=1788954518","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/kennametal-4109638-threading-insert-nas3l8-kcu25-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
