Kennametal 7096310 NPR332 KCU10B Carbide Profiling Insert

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 7096310 is a carbide profiling insert designed for precision turning and contouring operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries the NPR332 style designation with the KCU10B manufacturer grade and features an AlTiN coating applied via PVD process, which provides wear resistance and thermal stability during continuous and interrupted cuts. The insert has a parallelogram shape with a 55-degree included angle and a 0.80 mm corner radius, suited to profiling passes that require controlled surface finish and dimensional accuracy. Licensed machinists and CNC turning technicians are the primary users of this insert.

This insert is intended for profiling and finishing operations in metalcutting applications where a right-hand, clamp-held insert with a parallelogram shape is required. The 55-degree included angle and 0.80 mm corner radius make it well suited for external contour turning, form turning, and finish profiling on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. The KCU10B grade with AlTiN PVD coating is selected for applications demanding dimensional consistency and extended tool life at moderate-to-high cutting speeds. The ISO code for this insert is KNGX220408R32.

Key Features

• KCU10B carbide grade with AlTiN PVD coating for wear resistance and thermal stability
• Parallelogram shape with 55-degree included angle for profiling and contour turning
• 0.80 mm (0.0313 inch) corner radius for controlled surface finish
• Right-hand orientation, clamp-held mounting method
• 9.53 mm (0.375 inch) inscribed circle for consistent tool geometry
• 4.76 mm (0.1875 inch) thickness provides rigidity during profiling passes

Compatibility

Designed for use in clamp-style toolholders that accept NPR332 parallelogram profiling inserts with a right-hand orientation. Verify toolholder seat geometry and clamping method before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified CNC machinists or tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or replacing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or hex key to secure the clamping screw to the toolholder manufacturer's specified procedure. Inspect the insert seat and clamp for wear or debris before installing a new insert to ensure proper seating and cutting geometry.
