Kennametal 6013033 Grooving Insert KCU10 3.13mm Beyond Evolution

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 6013033 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision external grooving and parting operations on CNC turning centers and lathes. It carries the EG-U3GUP insert style with a KCU10 grade and an AlTiN PVD coating that provides thermal resistance and wear protection at elevated cutting speeds. The insert has a neutral hand orientation and a 3.13 mm cutting width with a maximum depth of cut of 2.2 mm. A positive rake angle of 27 degrees reduces cutting forces and aids chip evacuation. Machinists and CNC turning specialists install this insert in compatible EG-U style toolholders as part of the Beyond Evolution grooving system.

This insert is suited for finish and semi-finish grooving on a range of workpiece materials where the KCU10 grade and AlTiN coating provide an advantage in dry or minimal-coolant conditions. The GUP chip breaker geometry supports consistent chip control in shallow grooving applications. With an insert size of 3 and a cutting height of 4.02 mm, it is appropriate for production turning environments in both job-shop and high-volume settings where repeatable groove geometry is required.

Key Features

• KCU10 solid carbide grade with AlTiN PVD coating for thermal and abrasion resistance

Compatibility

Designed for use with EG-U style grooving toolholders in the KENNAMETAL Beyond Evolution grooving system. Verify toolholder compatibility with the insert size 3 and EG-U3GUP style before installation.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed and replaced by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Seat the insert fully and evenly in the toolholder pocket before tightening the clamping screw. Inspect the pocket and clamping surfaces for chips or debris that could cause improper seating and premature insert failure.
