Kennametal 7093282 Vnmg Turning Insert Altin Carbide

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 7093282 is a VNMG-style carbide turning insert designed for precision metal cutting operations on CNC and manual lathes. Featuring a diamond-shaped insert body with a 35-degree included angle and a 0.40 mm (0.0157 inch) corner radius, this insert is built for finishing and semi-finishing passes on a range of workpiece materials. The KCU10B grade substrate is coated with AlTiN for improved heat resistance and extended tool life at elevated cutting speeds. With four usable cutting edges, the insert delivers consistent performance across its service life before replacement.

This insert is suited for external turning applications in production machining environments, including job shops and manufacturing cells running steel, stainless, and similar materials. The neutral hand orientation allows for flexible toolholder mounting. The FF chip breaker geometry is optimized for light-to-moderate depth-of-cut scenarios where chip control and surface finish are priorities. Licensed machinists, tool-and-die makers, and CNC operators are the primary installers and users of this insert.

Key Features

• VNMG insert style with diamond shape (V-code) and 35-degree included angle for sharp, low-force cutting geometry
• KCU10B carbide grade with AlTiN coating for heat resistance and wear performance at elevated speeds
• 0.40 mm (0.0157 inch) corner radius suited for finishing and semi-finishing operations
• Four cutting edges per insert for extended usable life before discard
• FF chip breaker for effective chip control in light-to-moderate depth-of-cut applications
• Neutral hand designation for compatibility with standard VNMG toolholders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement insert for use in standard VNMG-style turning toolholders accepting inserts with a 3/16 inch thickness, N clearance code, and M tolerance code.

Installation Notes

Insert seating and clamping should be performed with the machine fully powered down and the spindle locked. Use the appropriate torx or hex key specified by the toolholder manufacturer when tightening the insert clamp screw — do not overtighten. Inspect the insert pocket and clamp for debris or damage before seating a new insert. Always wear cut-resistant gloves when handling carbide inserts, as edges are sharp even before use.
