Kennametal 7096301 Carbide Profiling Insert Altin

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 7096301 is a carbide profiling insert designed for precision turning and grooving 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 environments. It features a left-hand orientation, two cutting edges, and a 0.80 mm corner radius. The insert measures 0.1250 inches in thickness and 0.1250 inches in width, with a maximum depth of cut of 0.1250 inches. The ISO code is KCGX110308L15 and it is held in place by a clamp-style holding method.

This profiling insert is suited for use in metalworking applications where precise contour turning, grooving, or form-profile operations are required. The NPR/L insert style and left-hand orientation make it appropriate for specific tool-holder configurations used in production and job-shop turning environments. It is installed by machinists and CNC operators working with compatible KENNAMETAL tooling systems that accept clamp-type insert seats.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style profiling insert for use in KENNAMETAL clamp-type toolholders accepting NPR/L style inserts with insert size code 52 and ISO designation KCGX110308L15.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or CNC technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before removing or indexing inserts. Use the appropriate torque wrench and clamping screw specified by the toolholder manufacturer to seat the insert securely. Inspect the insert pocket for debris or wear before seating the new insert, as a contaminated pocket can affect surface finish and dimensional accuracy.
