It carries the KCU25 manufacturer grade with a PVD-applied AlTiN coating, delivering strong wear resistance and thermal stability at elevated cutting speeds. The insert features a 3.00 mm cutting width, a maximum depth of cut of 2.20 mm, and a positive 27-degree rake angle with a GUP chip breaker geometry. This combination promotes controlled chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces during grooving. Machinists and toolroom technicians working in precision turning applications will find this insert suited for consistent groove profile repeatability in the Beyond Evolution series platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis insert is used in external grooving and parting operations on CNC turning centers in both production and job-shop environments. The neutral hand orientation makes it compatible with straight grooving toolholders configured for axial or radial grooving cuts. The EG-P insert style fits toolholders designed for the Beyond Evolution grooving system. It is commonly specified for finishing and light roughing of grooves in steel and alloy workpiece materials where the AlTiN coating provides an advantage in dry or semi-dry cutting conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKCU25 grade solid carbide with PVD AlTiN coating for wear resistance in steel and alloy grooving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.00 mm cutting width with a maximum depth of cut of 2.20 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePositive rake angle of 27 degrees with GUP chip breaker for controlled chip flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorner radius of 0.20 mm for defined groove edge geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeutral hand orientation for use in standard axial grooving toolholders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart of the Beyond Evolution series for system-level toolholder compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with Beyond Evolution series EG-P style grooving toolholders that accept a 3 mm insert size.

Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Use the appropriate torque wrench and clamping screw specified for the Beyond Evolution toolholder to secure the insert without over-tightening. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or debris before seating the insert to ensure proper contact and repeatable tool geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: EG-P\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: KCU25\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\u003eCutting Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.00 mm (0.1180 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.20 mm (0.0880 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.00 mm to 3.00 mm (0.0750 to 0.1000 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.20 mm (0.0080 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.01 mm (0.1580 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.372 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1580 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake\u003c\/strong\u003e: Positive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChip Breaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: GUP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Neutral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Beyond Evolution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurement Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metric\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.76 inches (L) x 0.67 inches (W) x 0.67 inches (H)\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\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 5941101\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KENNAMETAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51746315469106,"sku":"5941101","price":330.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/fb5c80232ebfc95e75110df12ba2409b_9656d48b-d74d-4f7e-af1e-6444aff959aa.jpg?v=1788868243","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/kennametal-5941101-grooving-insert-kcu25-3mm-beyond-evolution","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
