Kennametal 7096333 Carbide Profiling Insert Vpgr Altin

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 7096333 is a VPGR-style carbide profiling insert designed for precision turning and profiling operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries KENNAMETAL grade KCU10B with an AlTiN coating applied via PVD process, making it well-suited for interrupted cuts and materials that generate high cutting temperatures. The insert measures 3/16 inches in thickness and height, with a 0.0312 inch (0.80 mm) corner radius and a maximum depth of cut of 0.2179 inches (5.53 mm). Four cutting edges are available per insert, maximizing tool life and reducing cost per edge. The 35-degree included angle and 8-degree relief and rake angles support clean profiling on a range of workpiece geometries.

This insert is used in metal-cutting operations where contour turning, profiling, and finish work require consistent edge geometry and coating durability. The neutral hand orientation makes it compatible with both left- and right-hand toolholders that accept the VPGR insert style. It is typically installed by machinists and CNC operators in job shops, production facilities, and maintenance machine shops. The clamp-style holding method is standard for this insert family and provides secure seating under continuous and interrupted cutting conditions.

Compatibility

Designed for use in clamp-style toolholders that accept the VPGR insert style. ISO code VCGR160408 identifies cross-reference equivalents in other manufacturer toolholder systems.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed by machinists or CNC operators following standard insert-change procedures. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Seat the insert firmly in the toolholder pocket and torque the clamping screw to the toolholder manufacturer's specification. Inspect the pocket and clamping surfaces for chips or wear before installing a fresh edge.
