This insert features an AlTiN (aluminum titanium nitride) coating applied via PVD process, which improves wear resistance and thermal performance during high-speed cutting. It carries the manufacturer grade KCU10 and belongs to the Top Notch series, a widely used platform in production turning environments. The insert has a left-hand cutting orientation, a 2.39 mm cutting width, and a maximum depth of cut of 2.79 mm. Machinists and CNC operators working in job shops or production facilities install this type of insert into compatible Top Notch toolholders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for grooving applications in medium to hard workpiece materials, consistent with the C3 and C4 material grade ratings. The KCU10 carbide grade with AlTiN PVD coating is appropriate for cutting steel and alloy materials where heat resistance and edge durability are priorities. It fits turning center setups requiring precise groove width control in the 2.00 mm to 3.00 mm depth-of-cut range. The K chip breaker geometry assists with chip control in moderate feed-rate applications. This insert is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 5 units per order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction with AlTiN PVD coating for extended tool life in steel and alloy cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLeft-hand cutting orientation for specific toolholder and machine configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2.39 mm cutting width with a maximum depth of cut of 2.79 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eK chip breaker geometry for improved chip control at moderate feed rates\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClamp-style insert holding method compatible with Top Notch series toolholders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e55-degree included angle and 0.19 mm corner radius for defined groove geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert belongs to the Top Notch series and is designed for use with Top Notch series grooving toolholders that accept NG-style inserts with a 2094 insert size designation.

Use the appropriate torx or hex key as specified by the toolholder manufacturer when seating the clamp to secure the insert. Inspect the toolholder pocket for chips or debris before seating a new insert, as contamination affects insert seating and can cause premature edge failure. Follow the cutting parameter recommendations from the toolholder and insert documentation for feed rate and speed settings appropriate to the workpiece material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: NG\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Top Notch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: KCU10\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\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 Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Left Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.39 mm (0.0941 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.79 mm (0.1098 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.00 mm to 3.00 mm (0.1000 to 0.1500 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.56 mm (0.2190 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.84 mm (0.151 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.19 mm (0.0075 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 55 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChip Breaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: K\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2094\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Holding Method\u003c\/strong\u003e: Clamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: C3, C4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23242105\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 4175857\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KENNAMETAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51744480723250,"sku":"4175857","price":214.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6df789676e05a8fcce618d9416e7e7bd.jpg?v=1788857152","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/kennametal-4175857-grooving-insert-kcu10-solid-carbide-altin","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
