Kennametal 7096260 Carbide Profiling Insert Left Hand

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 7096260 is a carbide profiling insert designed for precision turning and profiling operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Manufactured in grade KCU10B with an AlTiN coating applied via PVD process, this insert delivers wear resistance and thermal stability in demanding cutting conditions. It features a 0.80 mm (0.0313 inch) corner radius, an 11-degree included angle, and an 8-degree relief angle with a matching 8-degree rake angle. The left-hand orientation and clamp-style holding method suit specific toolholder configurations. With two cutting edges per insert, it offers extended tool life per piece. Machinists and CNC operators handling profiling, grooving, and contour turning work will find this insert sized at 0.1250 inches thickness and 0.1250 inches width.

This insert is intended for left-hand profiling and contour turning applications in production and job-shop environments. The NPGR insert style and ISO code KCGR110308L08 identify the geometry for matching to compatible toolholders. The KCU10B grade with AlTiN PVD coating is suited for machining a range of ferrous and difficult-to-machine materials where edge toughness and heat resistance are required. It is packaged individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 5 units, making it appropriate for shops stocking tooling in volume.

Key Features

• Carbide substrate in manufacturer grade KCU10B for toughness in profiling cuts
• AlTiN coating via PVD process for thermal resistance and extended edge life
• Left-hand orientation with clamp-style insert holding method
• 0.80 mm corner radius (0.0313 inches) for controlled contour profiling
• Two cutting edges per insert for improved cost-per-edge value
• ISO code KCGR110308L08 for precise toolholder matching

Compatibility

Designed for use in clamp-style toolholders accepting NPGR insert style geometry with ISO designation KCGR110308L08 in left-hand orientation. Confirm toolholder specifications against the insert size code 52 and geometry before installation.

Installation Notes

Insert installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine before seating or removing inserts. Use the correct torque tool for the clamping screw as specified by the toolholder manufacturer. Inspect the pocket and clamping surfaces for debris or damage before seating the insert to ensure proper support and avoid edge chipping.
