Kennametal 5062108 SNMG432RP KCU10 Carbide Turning Insert

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 5062108 is an SNMG432RP indexable turning insert in the KCU10 grade, designed for high-performance metal cutting on CNC lathes and turning centers. Manufactured from solid carbide with a PVD-applied TiAlN coating, it carries a 0.5000-inch inscribed circle, a 0.5000-inch insert length, and a 0.0313-inch (1/32 inch) corner radius. The square insert geometry delivers 8 usable cutting edges per insert. The RP chip breaker geometry is engineered to manage chip flow across a range of depths of cut up to 0.2500 inches (6.35 mm), making it well-suited for continuous and interrupted turning passes on demanding workpiece materials.

This insert is intended for turning, facing, and boring operations on steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium — primary workpiece material codes P, M, and S. It is part of the KENLOC series and is held in place using a clamp and pin method. The neutral hand orientation makes it compatible with standard SNMG-style toolholders in both left- and right-hand setups. It is appropriate for use in production machining environments and job shops where consistent tool life and chip control across difficult-to-machine alloys are required.

Key Features

• KCU10 carbide grade with PVD TiAlN coating for wear resistance on steel, stainless steel, and superalloys
• 8 cutting edges per insert for extended cost-per-edge value
• RP chip breaker with chamfered and honed cutting edge for controlled chip formation
• Negative rake angle (5 degrees) provides edge strength during heavy cuts
• Maximum depth of cut 0.2500 inches (6.35 mm)
• Conforms to ANSI and ISO standards; ISO code SNMG120408RP

Compatibility

Designed for use in SNMG-style KENLOC toolholders and any ANSI- or ISO-compliant SNMG432 insert pocket. Compatible with turning, facing, and boring applications on steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium workpieces. Insert holding method is clamp and pin.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Before indexing or replacing inserts, ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the toolholder is secured. Seat the insert fully into the pocket and verify the clamp and pin are properly engaged before resuming cuts. Inspect the insert pocket for wear or debris that could affect seating and dimensional accuracy.
