Kennametal 6025824 Indexable Drill Insert KCU40

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 6025824 is a solid carbide indexable drill insert designed for use in indexable insert drills in metalworking and machining applications. Ground to the SP..X.. insert style with a square shape and 90-degree included angle, this insert carries a KCU40 manufacturer grade and a PVD-applied TiAlN coating for heat resistance and wear performance at elevated cutting temperatures. The inscribed circle measures 3.60 mm, thickness is 5/32 inches (0.1563 inches), and the corner radius is 0.80 mm. The neutral hand orientation makes it compatible with both left- and right-hand tooling configurations. Installation requires no special orientation for hand preference, simplifying inventory management on the shop floor.

This insert is suited for drilling operations in steel, stainless steel, and cast iron where consistent edge performance and reliable chip control are required. It fits indexable drill bodies that accept the SP..X.. seat geometry with an insert size designation of 09T308. Typical applications include through-hole and blind-hole drilling in production machining environments, job shops, and maintenance repair operations. The TiAlN coating makes it a practical choice for dry or minimum-quantity lubrication cutting strategies at moderate to high spindle speeds.

Installation Notes

Indexable insert drills should be fully powered down and the spindle locked before replacing inserts. Use a calibrated torque screwdriver appropriate for the insert screw size to seat the insert without over-torquing the clamping screw. Inspect the insert pocket seat for chips or debris before seating the new insert. Licensed or trained machining personnel should follow applicable shop safety procedures and machine tool manufacturer guidelines during tooling changeovers.
