It carries the KCP25B grade with a CVD-applied TiOCN coating, which provides thermal resistance and wear protection in a range of workpiece materials. The insert features a right-hand cutting orientation, a 1.57 mm cutting width, and a maximum depth of cut of 2.39 mm. A positive rake angle of 3 degrees and the K chip breaker geometry promote clean chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces during moderate to heavy grooving passes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for external grooving, profiling, and light parting on small- to medium-diameter workpieces in production turning environments. It fits NG-style Top Notch toolholders that use a mechanical clamp holding method. The insert size is 3, with a cutting height of 8.74 mm and an overall width of 4.98 mm. It is a metric-measurement insert and is appropriate for use by machinists and CNC operators in job shops, production facilities, and toolroom applications where consistent groove geometry and insert repeatability are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKCP25B grade with CVD TiOCN coating for wear resistance and extended tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1.57 mm cutting width with a maximum depth of cut range of 2.00 to 3.00 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePositive 3-degree rake angle reduces cutting forces on the workpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eK chip breaker geometry promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCorner radius of 0.19 mm helps maintain groove edge integrity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMechanical clamp holding method provides secure, repeatable insert seating in Top Notch toolholders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in NG-style Top Notch series toolholders that accept size 3 grooving inserts with a clamp holding method.

Use the appropriate torx or hex key as specified by the toolholder manufacturer when tightening the clamp screw — do not overtighten. Inspect the insert pocket and clamp for debris or wear before seating the new insert. Verify cutting parameters against KENNAMETAL grade recommendations for the workpiece material before resuming operation.\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: KCP25B\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: TiOCN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating Process\u003c\/strong\u003e: CVD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.57 mm (0.0620 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.39 mm (0.0940 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.00 to 3.00 mm (0.0750 to 0.1000 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8.74 mm (0.3440 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.98 mm (0.196 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\u003eInsert Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3440 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGage Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\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: 3 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 degree\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChip Breaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: K\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Holding Method\u003c\/strong\u003e: Clamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurement Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metric\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0101 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: 5968028\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KENNAMETAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51739032944946,"sku":"5968028","price":219.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f5f0f1c60f7d93a45da555a8f6ce6374_44b5189c-38af-49d9-84cd-ba2a2b1c8ee7.jpg?v=1788808231","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/kennametal-5968028-grooving-insert-ng3k-kcp25b-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
