Kennametal 4114323 Grooving Insert G0605GMN KCU25 Carbide

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 4114323 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision external and internal grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Carrying the KCU25 manufacturer grade with a PVD-applied AlTiN coating, this insert delivers wear resistance and thermal stability in demanding cutting environments. The GMN chip breaker geometry promotes controlled chip formation. At a cutting width of 6.05 mm and a maximum depth of cut of 4.9 mm, it is suited for medium-depth grooving passes in steel, stainless steel, and similar workpiece materials. Neutral hand orientation makes it compatible with standard right-hand toolholders without mirrored setup. Machining professionals and CNC setup technicians are the primary installers of this insert.

This insert fits Series A4 toolholders and is cataloged under manufacturer number A4G0605M06U04GMN. It is intended for use in production and job-shop turning environments where consistent groove geometry and surface finish are required. The 0605 insert size and 90-degree included angle suit applications such as snap-ring grooves, undercuts, and parting-adjacent grooves in both light and moderate stock removal scenarios. The multi-use designation indicates suitability across a range of grooving pass depths within the stated range of 4.0 mm to 5.0 mm maximum depth of cut.

Installation Notes

Insert seating and clamping should be performed with the machine fully powered down and in a locked-out state per OSHA lockout-tagout procedures. Use the correct torx or hex key to the clamping screw specification indicated on the toolholder - do not overtighten by feel alone. Inspect the insert pocket for debris or damage before seating the insert. Worn or damaged inserts should be rotated or replaced before returning the machine to service; do not attempt to regrind PVD-coated carbide inserts.
