Kennametal 7096853 Grooving Insert 6mm Carbide Altin

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 7096853 is a carbide grooving insert from the Beyond Evolution series, designed for external grooving and parting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It features an EG-P-GUP-Metric insert style with a 6.00 mm (0.2362 inches) cutting width and a neutral hand orientation, making it suitable for straight-in grooving without a preferred cutting direction. The AlTiN coating provides heat and wear resistance for extended tool life in demanding cuts. A positive rake geometry and GUP chip breaker promote efficient chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces.

This insert is intended for use in metalworking applications where precise groove width and clean chip control are required. It is well suited for turning operations on steel, stainless steel, and similar materials in both production and job-shop environments. The clamp-style insert holding method ensures secure seating in compatible KENNAMETAL Beyond Evolution grooving toolholders. Licensed machinists and CNC operators performing grooving or parting operations are the primary installers of this tooling.
