Kennametal 6026364 Indexable Drill Insert KCU40 Carbide

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 6026364 is a square indexable drill insert designed for use in indexable insert drills in metal-cutting operations. It is manufactured from solid carbide and coated with TiAlN via a PVD process, providing wear resistance and thermal stability during drilling. The insert carries the KCU40 grade designation and features a 2.65 mm inscribed circle, a corner radius of 0.40 mm, and a neutral hand orientation. At 0.125 inches thick and 0.244 inches wide, this is a compact insert suited for precision hole-making applications. Licensed machinists and CNC operators install this type of insert as part of a modular drill body system.

This insert is used in indexable drill tooling for machining steel, cast iron, and similar ferrous workpiece materials in production environments. The TiAlN coating supports elevated cutting speeds and extended tool life in interrupted or continuous cut drilling. The square SP..X.. insert style fits compatible Kennametal indexable drill bodies requiring the KCU40 grade in the 060304 insert size. It is appropriate for both CNC machining centers and turning centers with live tooling where indexable drills are employed.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool is secured in a tool holder or locked out before handling or indexing inserts. Use the appropriate Torx or hex key as specified by the drill body manufacturer when seating the insert clamp screw. Do not force the insert into the pocket; inspect the pocket seating surface for chips or wear before installing a new insert.
