Kennametal 7093406 Tpg Turning Insert Triangle Carbide

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 7093406 is a TPG-style indexable turning insert designed for use in CNC and manual lathe turning operations. Manufactured from carbide with an AlTiN (aluminum titanium nitride) coating, this insert delivers wear resistance and thermal stability across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It carries a manufacturer grade of KCU10B, a neutral hand orientation, and an 11-degree relief angle. The triangular insert shape provides three cutting edges per insert, maximizing tool life per unit. With a 1/64 inch corner radius and no chip breaker, it is suited for finishing and light-to-medium material removal applications requiring a clean edge line.

This insert fits standard TPG toolholders used in production turning environments, including external turning and profiling operations on lathes in both job shop and production floor settings. The neutral hand designation means it is compatible with both right-hand and left-hand holder configurations where TPG pocket geometry is specified. It is typically installed by machinists, toolroom technicians, and CNC setup personnel working with indexable carbide tooling systems.

Key Features

• TPG insert style with triangular shape and three available cutting edges
• Carbide substrate with AlTiN coating for thermal resistance and extended wear life
• KCU10B manufacturer grade suited for general turning applications
• 11-degree relief angle (clearance code P) for positive clearance geometry
• 1/64 inch (0.0156 inch) corner radius for finishing-oriented edge geometry
• No chip breaker for clean, unobstructed chip flow in light finishing cuts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement insert for standard TPG-pocket indexable turning toolholders. Consult your toolholder documentation to confirm insert size code 321 and tolerance code G fitment before installation.

Installation Notes

TPG turning inserts are seated and clamped by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians following standard indexable tooling procedures. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the appropriate torque wrench and insert clamp hardware specified by the toolholder manufacturer - do not overtighten clamping screws by hand. Inspect the toolholder pocket for debris or wear before seating a new insert to ensure proper contact and runout control.
