Kennametal 7096370 Carbide Boring Insert Cdhb KCU10B

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 7096370 is a carbide boring insert designed for precision internal turning and boring operations on CNC lathes and machining centers. Manufactured in the CDHB insert style with a diamond shape and 80-degree included angle, this insert features an AlTiN coating and KCU10B grade carbide substrate suited for demanding cutting applications. The 0.38 mm (0.015 inch) corner radius and 15-degree relief angle combine to produce clean bore finishes with controlled chip evacuation. With four cutting edges per insert, machinists get extended tooling life per unit. The B-style chipbreaker geometry manages chip flow in interrupted and continuous boring cuts. Installed by machinists and tooling technicians in production and job-shop environments.

This insert is used in internal boring and finish turning operations on CNC turning centers and manual lathes. Its neutral hand orientation suits straight boring applications without directional bias. The KCU10B grade with AlTiN coating performs in ferrous and non-ferrous materials where heat resistance and edge retention are priorities. Typical applications include bore finishing in steel, cast iron, and similar workpiece materials in both production and prototype machining environments.

Key Features

• CDHB insert style with diamond shape geometry and 80-degree included angle
• AlTiN coating over KCU10B carbide grade for heat resistance and extended edge life
• 0.38 mm (0.015 inch) corner radius for controlled surface finish in boring operations
• 15-degree relief angle reduces cutting force and minimizes workpiece deflection
• B-style chipbreaker promotes chip control in continuous and interrupted cuts
• Four cutting edges per insert maximize value per unit in production tooling

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement insert for CDHB-style boring toolholders accepting size code 12061 inserts.

Installation Notes

Boring inserts are seated and torqued by qualified machinists or tooling technicians following the toolholder manufacturer's clamping specifications. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping screw for wear or debris before seating a new insert. Never use a damaged or chipped insert, as it can fracture during cutting and create a safety hazard.
