Kennametal 7096259 Carbide Profiling Insert Npgr Altin

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 7096259 is a carbide profiling insert designed for precision turning and profiling operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Featuring an NPGR insert style with AlTiN coating applied via PVD process, this insert delivers wear resistance and thermal stability in demanding cutting environments. The insert measures 0.125 inches thick and 0.125 inches wide, with a corner radius of 0.0157 inches (0.40 mm). Manufactured to grade KCU10B with an ISO code of KCGR110304R08, it suits right-hand cutting applications. Licensed machinists and CNC operators working in job shops or production environments will find this a direct-fit tooling component.

This insert is suited for profiling passes in ferrous and non-ferrous materials where controlled corner radius and shallow depth of cut are required. With a maximum depth of cut of 0.125 inches (3.18 mm) and an included angle of 11 degrees, it is designed for tight-radius contour work. The clamp-style holding method provides secure seating in compatible toolholders. Typical applications include finishing passes, groove profiling, and contour turning on small-diameter workpieces in production or repair machining environments.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified CNC machinists or tooling technicians. Always power down and lock out the machine before changing inserts. Use the correct torque wrench and clamp screw specified by the toolholder manufacturer to avoid seat damage or insert movement during cutting. Inspect the toolholder pocket and clamp for wear or debris before seating the new insert.
