Kennametal 7093226 Cngp Turning Insert Diamond Altin

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 7093226 is a CNGP-style carbide turning insert designed for precision external turning operations on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. Built to an 80-degree diamond insert shape with a neutral hand orientation, this insert carries an AlTiN coating applied over a KCU10B carbide grade substrate. The 0.80 mm (0.0313 inch) corner radius provides a balance between edge strength and surface finish quality. Four cutting edges per insert extend tool life and reduce per-edge cost. Licensed machinists and CNC operators working in production or job-shop environments will find this insert well-suited to general turning applications.

This insert is sized at 3/16 inch (0.1875 inch) width and thickness, following the standard CNGP insert geometry with a 0-degree relief angle (clearance code N) and tolerance code G. The CNGP designation indicates a diamond-shaped insert with a neutral hand, making it adaptable to both roughing and finishing passes depending on toolholder geometry and feed parameters. It is commonly used in ferrous and non-ferrous turning where a rigid, free-cutting edge is required. The P-style chip breaker geometry aids in chip control during moderate-depth passes.

Key Features

• AlTiN coating on KCU10B carbide grade for heat resistance and extended wear life
• 80-degree diamond insert shape (shape code C) for strong cutting edge geometry
• Four usable cutting edges per insert to maximize value per unit
• 0.80 mm corner radius balances surface finish quality with edge durability
• P-style chip breaker for improved chip control in turning applications
• Neutral hand orientation for flexible toolholder pairing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement turning insert for CNGP-style toolholders accepting a size 432 insert with 3/16 inch width and thickness dimensions.

Installation Notes

Insert seating and torque should follow the toolholder manufacturer specifications for CNGP-style pockets. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or hex key as specified by the toolholder manufacturer. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping hardware for wear or debris before seating the new insert.
