Kennametal 7026533 CCMT3252FP KCP25C Turning Insert

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 7026533 is a CCMT3252FP style carbide turning insert with KCP25C grade and a multilayer CVD coating of TiN, Al2O3, and TiCN. The diamond-shaped insert measures 0.3808 inches in length with a 3/8-inch inscribed circle, a 1/32-inch corner radius, and an insert thickness of 5/32 inches. It carries a positive rake angle of 15 degrees and a honed cutting edge for consistent engagement. Designed for screw-on toolholders, this insert is installed by machinists and CNC operators running turning, facing, and boring operations on production lathes.

This insert is suited for medium to finish turning applications on steel and cast iron workpieces. The FP chip breaker geometry is intended for controlled chip formation across a range of feed rates and depths of cut up to 0.1268 inches. It supports multi-use application across turning, facing, and boring setups, making it a practical choice for shops running mixed operations on a single toolholder. The neutral hand orientation allows use in standard right-hand or left-hand screw-on holders configured for the CCMT pocket style.

Key Features

• KCP25C grade with multilayer CVD coating: TiN outer layer, Al2O3 mid-layer, TiCN base layer for wear and crater resistance
• FP chip breaker geometry optimized for steel and cast iron at controlled chip loads
• Positive rake angle of 15 degrees reduces cutting forces on the workpiece
• Honed cutting edge style for improved edge strength and consistent finish
• Two cutting edges per insert for extended tool life per unit
• Screw-on insert holding method for positive location and quick indexing

Compatibility

Designed for screw-on toolholders with a CCMT insert pocket. Primary workpiece materials are steel (ISO P) and cast iron (ISO K). Conforms to ANSI and ISO standards; ISO code CCMT09T308FP. Industry standard number CCMT3252FP.

Installation Notes

Machine tool operators should power down and lock out the spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the appropriate Torx or hex key to seat the clamping screw to the toolholder manufacturer's specified torque — refer to the holder documentation, not this insert spec. Inspect the insert pocket and screw threads for wear or debris before seating a fresh insert. Confirm insert orientation and chip breaker direction match the intended cutting operation before resuming the cut.
