Kennametal 7096415 Turning Insert Tphh Triangle Altin

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 7096415 is a triangular carbide turning insert designed for precision metal cutting operations on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. It features an AlTiN (aluminum titanium nitride) coating and carries the KCU10B manufacturer grade, making it well suited for demanding cutting conditions where heat resistance and edge durability are priorities. The TPHH insert style provides an 11-degree relief angle, a 60-degree included angle, and a neutral hand orientation. The corner radius measures 0.40 mm (0.0156 inches), delivering a controlled surface finish on finished or semi-finished turning passes. Licensed machinists and CNC operators working in production or job-shop environments are the primary installers of this insert.

This insert is applied in external and internal turning operations on steel, stainless steel, and similar ferrous workpiece materials where the LF chip breaker geometry manages chip flow at moderate to light depths of cut. The triangular shape provides three usable cutting edges per insert, extending tool life between changeovers. It fits into standard TPHH-compatible toolholders and boring bars sized for a 1/8-inch insert width. The 0.40 mm corner radius suits finishing and light semi-finishing passes where surface finish tolerance is a priority.

Key Features

• AlTiN coating on KCU10B carbide grade for elevated heat and wear resistance
• Triangular insert shape with three cutting edges maximizes insert utilization
• LF chip breaker geometry designed for light finishing and semi-finishing cuts
• 11-degree relief angle (clearance code P) reduces flank rubbing on the workpiece
• Neutral hand orientation fits standard right-hand and left-hand TPHH toolholders
• 0.40 mm corner radius provides a smooth surface finish on finishing passes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement insert for TPHH-style toolholders and boring bars accepting triangular carbide inserts with a 1/8-inch insert width and standard H tolerance code.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists following standard insert-indexing procedures on CNC or manual lathes. Power down or engage the machine E-stop and lock out the spindle before seating or indexing the insert. Use the correct torx or hex key specified by the toolholder manufacturer to achieve proper clamping torque. Inspect the insert pocket and shim for damage before seating a new insert to avoid premature edge chipping.
