Kennametal 7093149 Ccgt Turning Insert Carbide Altin

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 7093149 is a CCGT-style carbide turning insert designed for precision metal cutting operations on CNC and manual lathes. It features an 80-degree diamond insert shape with a 7-degree relief angle and a 0.0080-inch (0.20 mm) corner radius, making it well suited for light finishing cuts where tight tolerances and fine surface finish are priorities. The insert is manufactured in grade KCU10B with an AlTiN coating for improved wear resistance and thermal performance at elevated cutting speeds. With two cutting edges and a neutral hand orientation, it integrates into standard CCGT insert holders used in turning centers across production and job-shop environments. Installation and application are typically handled by machinists and CNC operators.

This insert is used in external and internal turning applications where a sharp, positive-geometry cutting edge is required. The LF chip breaker geometry supports light finishing passes on ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials, producing consistent chip control at reduced depths of cut and feed rates. The 0.375-inch inscribed circle and 0.1563-inch thickness conform to standard CCGT insert sizing, making this a direct fit for compatible toolholders used in precision turning of close-tolerance components in aerospace, medical, and general machining applications.

Key Features

• CCGT insert style with 80-degree diamond shape for positive-rake turning setups
• KCU10B grade carbide substrate with AlTiN coating for extended tool life at higher cutting speeds
• 0.0080-inch (0.20 mm) corner radius optimized for fine finishing cuts
• LF chip breaker geometry for controlled chip formation at light depths of cut
• Neutral hand insert accepts use in both left- and right-hand turning configurations
• Two cutting edges per insert for cost-effective indexing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement turning insert for standard CCGT toolholders accepting a 0.375-inch inscribed circle, 0.1563-inch thick, 80-degree diamond insert with clearance code C and tolerance code G.

Installation Notes

Turning inserts should be installed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator with the machine fully powered down and in a locked-out state before any tooling change. Use the appropriate torque wrench and insert clamp hardware specified by the toolholder manufacturer to seat the insert securely without overtightening. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping components for wear or debris before seating a new insert. Follow the toolholder manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures when indexing or replacing carbide inserts.
