Kennametal 5692800 Indexable Drill Insert KCU40 Carbide

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 5692800 is a solid carbide indexable drill insert designed for use in indexable insert drills in metalworking and machining operations. This insert features an SP..X..MD style with a KCU40 manufacturer grade and a PVD-applied TiAlN coating, offering strong wear resistance and thermal stability during drilling. The square shape with a 90-degree included angle and 0.4 mm corner radius provides stable cutting geometry. With a 2.25 mm inscribed circle and a thickness of 0.0938 inches (3/32 inches), this insert fits precision tooling holders requiring tight dimensional tolerances. It is suitable for professional machinists and toolroom technicians working in production or maintenance environments.

This insert is intended for indexable drill bodies that accept SP..X..MD-style square carbide inserts. It is most commonly used in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and turning centers equipped with modular indexable drill systems. The neutral hand designation means it can be positioned in either cutting orientation depending on the holder configuration. The MD chipbreaker geometry is suited for applications requiring controlled chip formation in a variety of workpiece materials. This part is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 5 units.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the machine before changing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or hex key to the tool manufacturer's specified clamping method — do not overtighten or use impact tools on insert screws. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping screw for wear or damage before seating the new insert.
