Kennametal 5697027 SNMG432FN Turning Insert KCP10B Carbide

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 5697027 is an SNMG432FN indexable turning insert manufactured from solid carbide and finished with a multilayer CVD coating system consisting of TiCN, Al2O3, and TiOCN. Carrying the KCP10B manufacturer grade, this insert is designed for negative-rake turning operations on CNC lathes and machining centers. It features a 0.5 inch inscribed circle, a 1/32 inch corner radius, and a 90-degree square geometry. The cutting edge is honed for consistent performance across roughing and semi-finishing passes. Eight available cutting edges per insert maximize tool life and reduce per-edge cost. This insert is suited for machinists and tooling specialists working in production turning environments.

This insert is intended for turning, facing, and boring applications. It performs on primary workpiece materials including steel and cast iron, corresponding to ISO material codes P and K. The KENLOC series designation indicates compatibility with KENNAMETAL KENLOC-style toolholders that accept SNMG-geometry inserts with clamp and pin holding methods. The neutral hand orientation makes it usable in both left-hand and right-hand toolholder configurations. Maximum depth of cut reaches 0.1665 inch, making it suitable for moderate material removal rates in production settings. This insert meets both ANSI and ISO standards for SNMG432 geometry.

Key Features

• Multilayer MTCVD coating: TiCN base, Al2O3 intermediate, TiOCN outer layer for wear and crater resistance
• 8 indexable cutting edges per insert for extended tooling value
• 90-degree square SNMG geometry with neutral hand for versatile toolholder compatibility
• Honed cutting edge for consistent edge prep on steel and cast iron workpieces
• Clamp and pin holding method for secure seating in KENLOC-style toolholders
• Meets ANSI and ISO standards; ISO code SNMG432

Compatibility

Designed for use in KENNAMETAL KENLOC-series toolholders accepting SNMG-style inserts with clamp and pin retention. Compatible with turning, facing, and boring operations on steel and cast iron workpieces per ISO material codes P and K.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the appropriate KENNAMETAL KENLOC clamp screw torque procedure per the toolholder documentation, and inspect the insert pocket and locating pin for wear or debris before seating a new insert. Do not exceed the maximum depth of cut specified for this insert geometry to avoid chipping the cutting edge.
