Kennametal 7090606 VNGG332 Carbide Turning Insert Altin

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 7090606 is a VNGG-style carbide turning insert designed for precision finishing operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Manufactured to ANSI code VNGG332 and ISO code VNGG160408, this insert features a 35-degree diamond (rhombic) shape with a neutral hand orientation and a 0.80 mm (1/32 inch) corner radius. The AlTiN coating and KCU10B grade deliver high wear-resistance across a range of workpiece materials. With four usable cutting edges per insert, it offers extended tooling life and consistent performance in production turning environments.

This insert is suited for finishing cuts on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, and non-ferrous materials in both light industrial and high-production machining settings. The FS chip breaker geometry is optimized for finishing applications, producing controlled chips and fine surface finishes at appropriate feed and depth-of-cut parameters. It is commonly installed in VNGG-compatible toolholders used on manual and CNC turning equipment in precision machine shops and production cells.

Key Features

• ANSI code VNGG332 and ISO code VNGG160408 for standardized toolholder compatibility
• KCU10B grade with AlTiN coating for high wear-resistance on steel, stainless steel, and cast iron
• 35-degree diamond insert shape with neutral hand orientation for versatile turning applications
• FS chip breaker geometry engineered for finishing operations and controlled chip formation
• Four cutting edges per insert to maximize tooling value
• 0.80 mm corner radius for refined surface finish in light finishing passes

Compatibility

Designed for use in VNGG-style toolholders accepting ANSI size code 332 inserts. Compatible workpiece material classifications include Steel (P), Stainless Steel (M), Cast Iron (K), Aluminum and non-ferrous (N), and heat-resistant superalloys (S) as indicated by primary workpiece material codes P, M, K, N, and S.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician following standard insert-change procedures for indexable turning toolholders. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before indexing or replacing the insert. Use the appropriate torque wrench or clamp screw driver specified by the toolholder manufacturer when seating the insert. Handle carbide inserts carefully to avoid chipping the cutting edges prior to use.
