It carries the KCU25 manufacturer grade and features a PVD-applied AlTiN coating for improved wear resistance and thermal stability at elevated cutting speeds. The insert is configured for right-hand cutting with a 3.96 mm cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 3.81 mm. With a full radius corner geometry of 1.98 mm and a K-style chip breaker, it delivers controlled chip formation in a range of workpiece materials including steels and cast irons. It is installed by CNC machinists and toolroom technicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 4109918 fits the Top Notch series tooling system and is suited for grooving operations on medium to high-production turning applications. The NR insert style with a 55-degree included angle and clamp-style holding method makes it compatible with standard Top Notch grooving tool holders. It is commonly used in job shops and production facilities machining ferrous and non-ferrous components where repeatable groove geometry and dimensional accuracy are required. The insert size designation is 3078 and measurement type is metric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKCU25 carbide grade with PVD AlTiN coating for extended tool life in steel and cast iron grooving\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3.96 mm cutting width with full corner radius of 1.98 mm for consistent groove geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum depth of cut range of 3.00 to 4.00 mm, nominal 3.81 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eK-style chip breaker promotes controlled chip evacuation and reduces chip packing in deep grooves\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClamp-style insert holding method provides rigid, repeatable seating in Top Notch holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cutting orientation; single-use insert — not a multi-use tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with Top Notch series grooving tool holders that accept NR-style inserts with a 3078 insert size designation.
