Built to the ER-P insert style with a GUP chip breaker geometry, it carries a KCU10 grade designation and a PVD-applied AlTiN coating for extended tool life in demanding cutting conditions. The insert delivers a 4.00 mm cutting width with a maximum depth of cut of 2.69 mm and features a full corner radius of 2.00 mm. A positive rake angle of 10 degrees and a 3-degree lead angle support consistent chip control. This insert is part of the Beyond Evolution series and is specified by machinists and toolroom technicians working in production turning environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for metric-dimensioned grooving applications on CNC turning equipment where repeatable groove width and controlled chip evacuation are required. The GUP chip breaker is intended for general-purpose grooving where consistent chip formation is a priority. The neutral hand orientation makes it applicable in standard grooving toolholder setups. Typical installation scenarios include OD grooving on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces using compatible ER-P style toolholders. Sold as a single insert per package.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKCU10 grade solid carbide with PVD-applied AlTiN coating for wear and heat resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4.00 mm cutting width with a maximum depth of cut of 2.69 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull corner radius of 2.00 mm for smooth groove floor geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePositive rake angle (10 degrees) and GUP chip breaker for reliable chip control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eER-P insert style, neutral hand, compatible with standard ER-P grooving toolholders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart of the Beyond Evolution series with metric sizing and PVD coating process\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in ER-P style grooving toolholders that accept a size 4 insert seat.
