Kennametal 7096751 A4G Grooving Insert Carbide 0.2360 in

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 7096751 is a double-end carbide grooving insert in the A4G style, designed for external grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It features a 0.2360-inch (6.000 mm) cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 0.1750 inches (4.40 mm). The insert is manufactured from carbide with an AlTiN coating applied via PVD process under the KCU10B grade designation, delivering wear resistance and thermal stability in demanding turning applications. With two cutting edges and a neutral hand orientation, this insert suits a wide range of grooving setups. Licensed machinists and CNC operators in metalworking shops are the primary users.

The 7096751 is suited for grooving and recessing operations on steel, stainless steel, and similar workpiece materials in both production and job-shop environments. Its positive rake geometry and GUP chip breaker promote efficient chip evacuation during groove cutting. The double-end design extends usable insert life by providing two cutting edges per insert. It is held in the toolholder via clamp method, consistent with standard A4G-series toolholder systems. This insert fits both high-volume production turning cells and lower-volume precision turning work.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or replacing the insert. Use the appropriate torque wrench and clamp screw specified by the toolholder manufacturer — do not over-tighten or substitute hardware. Inspect the insert seat and clamping surfaces for chips or debris before seating the new insert to ensure proper contact and repeatability.
