Kennametal 7096256 Carbide Profiling Insert Dpgr

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 7096256 is a carbide profiling insert designed for precision turning and contouring operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. This DPGR-style insert carries a 55-degree included angle and an 11-degree relief angle, making it well suited for diamond-profile finishing and light profiling passes. The insert measures 3/16 inches in width and 3/16 inches in thickness, with a corner radius of 0.0313 inches (0.80 mm). An AlTiN coating applied via PVD process improves thermal resistance and edge wear life. With four cutting edges per insert, it delivers strong value in high-cycle production environments. It is installed using a clamp-style holder and carries a neutral hand designation.

This insert is intended for metal cutting applications where controlled corner geometry and surface finish are critical. Typical use cases include finish turning of steel, stainless steel, and cast iron components in both job-shop and production settings. The DPGR insert style and ISO code DCGR150408 indicate compatibility with standard diamond-profile clamp-style toolholders. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals specify the KCU10B grade when wear resistance and consistent edge life are priorities on medium to high surface-speed operations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the machine before changing inserts. Seat the insert fully in the pocket and verify clamp engagement before resuming cuts. Follow the toolholder manufacturer torque guidelines for the clamping screw to avoid insert movement or pocket damage.
