Kennametal 7093522 Wnmg Carbide Turning Insert Altin

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 7093522 is a WNMG-style trigon carbide turning insert designed for use on CNC lathes and turning centers in metal cutting operations. Manufactured to grade KCU10B and coated with AlTiN (aluminum titanium nitride), this insert is engineered for demanding cutting applications where heat resistance and edge retention are priorities. The neutral hand orientation makes it suitable for both left- and right-hand toolholders. With a 0.80 mm (0.0313 inch) corner radius and an 80-degree included angle, it delivers a controlled cutting edge geometry suited to medium turning passes on ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

This insert is appropriate for production turning environments in manufacturing shops, job shops, and maintenance machining operations. It fits standard WNMG toolholders and is well suited to finishing and semi-finishing passes where consistent surface finish and tight tolerances are required. The FP chip breaker geometry assists with chip control across a range of depths of cut and feed rates. Insert size code 432 indicates the standard dimensional classification for this configuration.

Key Features

• AlTiN coating for elevated heat resistance and extended tool life in dry or minimal-lubrication cutting
• KCU10B carbide grade for toughness in interrupted and continuous turning applications
• 6 usable cutting edges per insert for maximum value per unit
• 0.80 mm corner radius (1/32 inch) for controlled nose geometry in medium finishing work
• FP chip breaker for reliable chip control across varied feed and depth conditions
• Neutral hand insert — compatible with both left- and right-hand WNMG toolholders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement insert for standard WNMG toolholders; consult your toolholder documentation to confirm seating and clamping compatibility for insert size code 432.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and lock out the machine before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or hex key to seat the insert clamp to the toolholder manufacturer's specified procedure — do not overtighten by feel alone. Inspect the insert pocket for wear or debris before seating a new cutting edge to ensure proper contact and prevent premature edge failure.
