Kennametal 7093253 Sngp Turning Insert Altin Carbide

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 7093253 is a square SNGP-style carbide turning insert designed for precision external and internal turning operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Coated with AlTiN (aluminum titanium nitride) and manufactured to grade KCU10B, this insert offers thermal resistance and edge durability at elevated cutting speeds. It features a 0.40 mm (0.0157 inch) corner radius, a 90-degree included angle, and a neutral hand orientation. Eight usable cutting edges per insert reduce tooling cost per part. Licensed machinists and CNC operators in production shops are the primary installers and users of this insert.

This insert is suited for turning operations on ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials in both roughing and semi-finishing passes. The SNGP geometry with chip breaker designation P makes it appropriate for applications requiring controlled chip formation. The square insert shape and 3/16-inch (0.1875-inch) width fit standard SNGP-compatible toolholders used on manual and CNC turning equipment. Typical environments include job shops and production facilities running high-speed turning cycles where AlTiN coating provides heat resistance and extended tool life.

Key Features

• AlTiN coating provides thermal resistance and wear protection at high cutting speeds
• KCU10B manufacturer grade for demanding turning applications
• 8 cutting edges per insert for extended service life and lower cost per edge
• 0.40 mm corner radius for controlled surface finish and edge strength
• Neutral hand orientation for flexible toolholder compatibility
• P-style chip breaker for effective chip control during turning

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement insert for standard SNGP-compatible square insert toolholders used in CNC and manual turning operations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Seat the insert fully against the toolholder pocket and clamp screw before resuming cutting operations. Do not use damaged or chipped inserts, as this can cause workpiece defects or toolholder damage.
