Kennametal 7093212 Cpgt Turning Insert Carbide Altin

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 7093212 is a CPGT-style diamond turning insert designed for precision external turning operations on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. Manufactured from solid carbide with a grade designation of KCU10B and coated with AlTiN (aluminum titanium nitride), this insert delivers thermal resistance and extended tool life in demanding cutting environments. The 80-degree included diamond shape provides two cutting edges per insert. The corner radius measures 0.0313 inches (1/32 inch), and insert thickness is 0.0938 inches (3/32 inch). Licensed machinists and CNC programmers working in job shops, production machining facilities, and toolrooms are the primary users of this insert.

This insert is suited for finish and semi-finish turning of ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials where a neutral-hand, positive-rake geometry is required. The LF chip breaker geometry is intended for light finishing passes, making it appropriate for close-tolerance applications where surface finish and dimensional control are critical. The CPGT insert style is a standard geometry used in a wide range of indexable turning toolholders that accept C-style inserts with a positive 11-degree relief angle and G-tolerance fit.

Key Features

• CPGT insert style with 80-degree diamond shape and 11-degree relief angle for positive-rake cutting geometry
• KCU10B carbide grade with AlTiN coating for thermal stability and wear resistance at elevated cutting speeds
• LF chip breaker optimized for light finishing cuts and tight surface finish requirements
• 0.0313-inch (1/32-inch) corner radius for controlled edge geometry on finish turning passes
• Neutral hand orientation compatible with standard C-style indexable toolholders
• Two usable cutting edges per insert for cost-effective indexing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement insert for indexable turning toolholders that accept CPGT-style carbide inserts with a C insert shape code, P clearance code, and G tolerance code.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or hex key to seat the insert clamp to the toolholder manufacturer's specified procedure. Handle carbide inserts with care to avoid chipping the cutting edge prior to use.
