Kennametal 7096735 Grooving Insert A4G Carbide Altin

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 7096735 is a carbide grooving insert designed for precision groove turning and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Manufactured in the A4G style with a size code of 4, this insert delivers a cutting width of 0.1580 inches (4.000 mm) and a maximum depth of cut of 0.1300 inches (3.30 mm). The insert features a PVD-applied AlTiN coating under the KCU10B manufacturer grade, which provides elevated heat resistance and edge wear performance in demanding turning applications. Two cutting edges per insert and a double-end configuration extend usable tool life. Installation and tool changes are handled by machinists and CNC operators in production and job-shop environments.

This insert is suited for grooving, recessing, and undercutting operations in both ferrous and non-ferrous materials on CNC turning equipment. The neutral hand orientation supports use in standard right-hand toolholders within the A4 series system. The positive rake geometry and GUP chip breaker promote controlled chip evacuation in medium to light-depth grooving passes. The clamp-style insert holding method secures the insert in compatible A4 series toolholders. This insert is appropriate for production environments where consistent groove geometry and insert indexability are required.

Key Features

• A4G insert style with size code 4 for use in A4 series clamp-style toolholders

• KCU10B carbide grade with PVD AlTiN coating for extended wear resistance
• Two cutting edges in a double-end configuration for increased insert utilization
• Positive rake geometry with GUP chip breaker for controlled chip flow
• 0.0080 inch (0.20 mm) corner radius for defined groove edge geometry

Compatibility

Designed for use with A4 series clamp-style grooving toolholders that accept size 4 inserts. Confirm toolholder seat size and clamping system compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Insert installation and indexing should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Power down and lock out the machine before changing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or hex key as specified by the toolholder manufacturer to secure the clamping screw to the recommended torque. Inspect the insert seat and clamp for debris or wear before seating a new insert.
