Kennametal 4175854 Grooving Insert NG2062 KCU10 Carbide Altin

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 4175854 is a solid carbide grooving insert in the Top Notch series, designed for precision external grooving and turning operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. The insert carries a KCU10 grade designation and an AlTiN (aluminum titanium nitride) PVD coating, which improves wear resistance and tool life across a range of workpiece materials. With a cutting width of 1.58 mm and a maximum depth of cut of 2.79 mm, this insert is suited for narrow-groove applications where dimensional accuracy is critical. Installation is by clamp-style holding. Machining professionals and toolroom technicians working with metric-spec tooling will find this insert fits standard Top Notch compatible toolholders.

This insert is intended for metal-cutting operations on CNC turning equipment in both production and job-shop environments. The NG style, right-hand orientation, and metric sizing make it appropriate for grooving operations where tight tolerances on groove width and depth are required. The 55-degree included angle geometry and 0.19 mm corner radius support controlled chip formation in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It is applied in residential and industrial machining contexts where consistent groove profiles are needed across repeated cuts.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Seat the insert fully in the toolholder pocket and verify the clamp is secure before resuming cuts. Do not exceed the rated maximum depth of cut for the insert grade and workpiece material combination.
