Kennametal 7093285 Vnmg Turning Insert Altin Carbide

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 7093285 is a VNMG-style indexable carbide turning insert designed for precision metal cutting on CNC and manual lathes. It features an AlTiN (aluminum titanium nitride) coating over a carbide substrate with a KCU10B manufacturer grade, offering heat resistance and wear performance suited to interrupted cuts and difficult-to-machine alloys. The diamond-shaped insert carries a 35-degree included angle, a 0.80 mm (0.0313 inch) corner radius, and a neutral hand orientation. Four usable cutting edges are available per insert, making it a cost-effective choice for production turning operations managed by machinists and toolroom technicians.

This insert is suited for external and internal turning applications where a sharp, pointed geometry is required to access tight shoulders and contoured profiles. The VNMG format with RP chip breaker geometry is commonly used in finishing and semi-finishing passes on steel and alloyed workpieces. The neutral hand designation means it seats in standard VNMG-compatible toolholders without directional restriction, giving setup flexibility on turret or gang-tool configurations. Minimum order quantity is 5 inserts, sold individually per package.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement insert for VNMG-compatible turning toolholders accepting a 3/16 inch (4.76 mm) insert thickness and an N clearance, M tolerance classification.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Use a torx or hex key appropriate to the toolholder clamp style and ensure the insert seats fully and evenly in the pocket before resuming cuts. Inspect the insert pocket and clamp for damage or debris each time the insert is indexed.
