Kennametal 7096811 A4G Grooving Insert Size 5 Carbide

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 7096811 is a carbide grooving insert designed for precision grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It features an A4G insert style with a 0.199 inch (5.05 mm) cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 0.165 inch (4.20 mm). The insert is coated with AlTiN via a PVD coating process, providing heat resistance and wear performance in steel and stainless turning applications. With a positive rake geometry and GMP chip breaker, it promotes controlled chip flow during interrupted or continuous grooving cuts. Machinists and tool setters working with the KENNAMETAL A4 series toolholding system will find this a direct-fit insert.

This insert is suited for external and internal grooving operations in both production and job-shop environments. The neutral hand orientation allows use on standard straight-approach grooving tools. The double-end configuration provides two cutting edges per insert, extending service life before changeover. It is appropriate for residential-scale machine shops and industrial production cells alike, and is typically installed by machinists or CNC operators performing turning, parting, or groove-profile work on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator with the machine spindle fully stopped and in a locked or E-stop state. Use the appropriate KENNAMETAL clamp and torque wrench per the toolholder manufacturer guidelines for clamp-held inserts. Inspect the insert seat and clamp for debris or wear before seating the insert. Never force the insert into the pocket or overtighten the clamp screw, as this can fracture the carbide substrate.
