Kennametal 7093415 Tpg Carbide Turning Insert

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 7093415 is a TPG-style triangular carbide turning insert designed for precision external turning operations on metalworking lathes. Manufactured in grade KCU10B with an AlTiN (aluminum titanium nitride) coating, this insert offers wear resistance and thermal stability across a range of turning applications. The insert features an 11-degree relief angle and a 0.40 mm (1/64 inch) corner radius, providing a sharp cutting geometry suited to finishing and semi-finishing passes. With three cutting edges per insert, it delivers extended tool life per piece. Licensed machinists and CNC lathe operators in job shop and production machining environments are the primary installers.

This insert is intended for use in standard TPG-style insert toolholders used in external turning on ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. The KCU10B carbide grade with AlTiN coating is suited for general-purpose turning where moderate cutting speeds and consistent edge life are required. The triangular insert shape with a 60-degree included angle and neutral hand orientation makes it adaptable to both straight and lead-angle turning operations. It is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 5 units.

Key Features

• TPG insert style with triangular shape and 60-degree included angle for versatile turning geometry
• KCU10B carbide grade with AlTiN coating for wear resistance and elevated-temperature performance
• 11-degree relief (clearance code P) reduces flank wear in continuous turning cuts
• 0.40 mm corner radius (1/64 inch) supports finishing and light semi-finishing passes
• Three usable cutting edges per insert maximize cost-per-edge value
• Neutral hand orientation fits a wide range of standard TPG toolholders

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard TPG-style turning toolholders accepting inserts with a 0.5-inch inscribed circle and 3/16-inch thickness. Confirm toolholder seat geometry and clamp style before installation.

Installation Notes

TPG inserts are installed by qualified machinists or CNC setup technicians. Power down and lock out the lathe before indexing or replacing the insert. Seat the insert fully against the toolholder pocket and ensure the clamp or pin is properly engaged before resuming cuts. Do not exceed the toolholder manufacturer's recommended depth of cut or feed rate for this insert style.
