Part of the Beyond Evolution series, this insert carries the KCU25 manufacturer grade and features an Al2O3 PVD coating for improved wear resistance and thermal stability. The insert style is EC with a 3mm cutting width, a 12-degree right-hand lead angle, and a 2-degree relief angle. The CF chipbreaker geometry promotes chip control during cutoff passes. Machining professionals and toolroom technicians working with steel and similar workpiece materials install this insert as a direct replacement unit in compatible cutoff toolholders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for production turning environments where consistent parting performance is required. The right-hand insert orientation and right-hand lead angle direct cutting forces appropriately for standard lathe spindle rotation. The Beyond Evolution series targets demanding cutoff applications where edge stability and coating adhesion are priorities. The EC insert style fits corresponding EC-series toolholders and insert seats sized for a 3mm blade width. This insert ships individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 5 units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide substrate with KCU25 grade designation for toughness and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAl2O3 PVD coating provides thermal barrier and extended edge life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3mm cutting width with CF chipbreaker for controlled chip evacuation during parting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e12-degree right-hand lead angle reduces radial cutting forces at parting depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-degree relief angle minimizes flank contact with the workpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBeyond Evolution series construction for high-demand production cutoff applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement insert for EC-style cutoff and grooving toolholders accepting a 3mm insert seat size in the Beyond Evolution series.

Use the appropriate torx or hex key as specified by the toolholder manufacturer to seat and clamp the insert securely. Do not over-torque the clamping screw, as carbide inserts are brittle and can fracture under excessive clamping force. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or debris before seating the new insert.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: EC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: KCU25\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Angle Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelief Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChipbreaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: CF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating \/ Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Al2O3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating Process\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Beyond Evolution\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9.48mm (approximately 0.373 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.00mm (approximately 0.157 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Seat Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.67 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.67 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.76 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01281 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\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: 6442338\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KENNAMETAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51734013083954,"sku":"6442338","price":169.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/50714d0bfc1919af19d859558275668b_fc3d239c-a436-469a-bc3a-322a173d13c1.jpg?v=1788760476","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/kennametal-6442338-carbide-cutoff-insert-3mm-rh","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
