Kennametal 7093473 Cnmg Turning Insert Altin Carbide

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 7093473 is a CNMG-style indexable turning insert designed for external and internal turning operations on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. Built from carbide substrate with an AlTiN (aluminum titanium nitride) coating and Kennametal grade KCU10B, this insert delivers heat resistance and wear performance across a range of workpiece materials. The diamond-shaped insert body features an 80-degree included angle and a 0.20 mm (0.008 inch) corner radius, making it well suited for medium finishing and semi-finish turning. The MS chip breaker geometry promotes controlled chip evacuation. Licensed machinists and CNC operators install these inserts as part of routine tooling maintenance and production setups.

This insert is intended for use in CNMG-compatible toolholders on production turning equipment. The neutral hand orientation allows installation in standard CNMG boring bars and OD turning tool bodies. With four usable cutting edges per insert, the 7093473 extends tooling value across high-volume runs. Typical applications include turning ferrous and non-ferrous metals where moderate chip loads and consistent surface finish are required. The 0.1875 inch insert thickness and 4.77 mm width conform to standard CNMG 4305 insert size specifications.

Key Features

• AlTiN coating over carbide substrate for elevated heat and wear resistance
• Kennametal grade KCU10B engineered for reliable cutting performance
• Diamond insert shape with 80-degree included angle for versatile turning geometry
• 0.20 mm (0.008 inch) corner radius suitable for medium-finish turning passes
• MS chip breaker promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation
• Four cutting edges per insert maximize tooling utilization

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNMG-style toolholders conforming to CNMG 4305 insert size code standards. Neutral hand orientation fits standard OD turning and boring bar bodies that accept CNMG inserts.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Before indexing or replacing inserts, ensure the machine is in an e-stop or locked-out state per facility lockout/tagout procedures. Use a torque wrench appropriate for the toolholder clamp screw to seat the insert without over-torquing the retention hardware. Inspect the insert pocket and seating surface for chips or debris before installing a new edge to avoid premature insert fracture.
