It carries the EG-P6GUP designation, meaning it uses an EG-P insert style with a GUP chip breaker geometry and is finished in an AlTiN (aluminum titanium nitride) PVD coating. The insert is neutral-hand, making it adaptable to both left- and right-hand grooving setups. With a 6.35 mm cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 4 mm, it is well suited for medium-width groove applications requiring tight dimensional control. The KCU10 grade is a coated carbide grade developed for steel and stainless grooving at moderate to high cutting speeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is used in production turning environments where consistent groove geometry and surface finish are critical. It fits the Beyond Evolution series tooling system and is intended for shops running high-volume grooving cycles on steel and other ferrous materials. Typical applications include external groove turning, part-off preparation, and undercut profiling on CNC turning centers. The positive rake angle of 27 degrees reduces cutting forces and is beneficial when machining workpieces prone to deflection. A licensed machinist or CNC turning specialist would install and qualify this insert during a tooling changeover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction in KCU10 grade with AlTiN PVD coating for extended tool life in steel grooving\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6.35 mm cutting width with maximum depth of cut of 4 mm, depth range 4.00 mm to 5.00 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePositive rake geometry at 27 degrees reduces cutting forces and chip load\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGUP chip breaker promotes controlled chip evacuation during grooving cycles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCorner radius of 0.80 mm (0.031 inches) for groove floor finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeutral hand orientation supports flexible left- or right-hand toolholder mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePart of the Beyond Evolution series, compatible with EG-P style grooving toolholders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement insert for EG-P style grooving toolholders in the Kennametal Beyond Evolution series.

Inspect the insert pocket and clamping screw for debris or wear before seating the new insert. Use the manufacturer-specified torque tool for the clamping screw; do not overtighten by hand or with unapproved tools. Verify cutting width, depth stop, and corner radius against the part drawing before resuming production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: KCU10\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\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\u003eCutting Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6.35 mm (0.2500 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.00 mm (0.1570 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.00 mm to 5.00 mm (0.1500 to 0.2000 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.10 mm (0.2000 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.80 mm (0.0310 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\u003eLead Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.572 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6.35 mm (0.2500 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.76 inches L x 0.59 inches W x 0.59 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\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\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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: 6012717\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KENNAMETAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51736467177778,"sku":"6012717","price":52.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/fb5c80232ebfc95e75110df12ba2409b_7a9c2dce-9123-44df-9005-56c72e071be2.jpg?v=1788778088","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/kennametal-6012717-grooving-insert-kcu10-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
