It features a 0.125-inch cutting width, a positive rake geometry, and an AlTiN coating that extends tool life in demanding cutting conditions. The KCU10B grade and GUN chip breaker work together to control chip evacuation in medium to high-speed turning applications. Licensed machinists and CNC operators install these inserts as direct replacements in compatible clamp-style grooving toolholders. The insert is sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for grooving, profiling, and parting on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces in both production and job-shop environments. The EG-U-GUN-Inch style and neutral hand orientation make it adaptable across a range of turning setups. The Insert Size Code 3 designation corresponds to the physical envelope of the insert and determines toolholder compatibility. It is appropriate for shops running tight-tolerance grooving work where consistent chip control and edge wear resistance are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCarbide substrate with AlTiN coating for heat and wear resistance in high-speed cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKCU10B manufacturer grade engineered for consistent performance in grooving applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGUN chip breaker geometry promotes controlled chip flow and reduces chip packing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePositive rake design reduces cutting forces and heat generation at the edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeutral hand orientation allows use in both left- and right-approach toolholder setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClamp-style insert holding method ensures secure seating and repeatable edge positioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement insert for clamp-style grooving toolholders accepting EG-U-GUN-Inch style, Insert Size Code 3 inserts in the Beyond Evolution series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. The machine must be powered down and all axes brought to a safe stop before changing inserts. Use the correct clamp torque driver recommended by the toolholder manufacturer to seat the insert without cracking the carbide substrate. Inspect the insert pocket and clamp for wear or debris before seating a new insert.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: EG-U-GUN-Inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Size Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.125 inches (3.18 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Neutral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: KCU10B\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.008 inches (0.20 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake\u003c\/strong\u003e: Positive\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Holding Method\u003c\/strong\u003e: Clamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChip Breaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: GUN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: AlTiN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Beyond Evolution\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 (minimum order quantity: 10)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: KENNAMETAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7097931\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KENNAMETAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51740529295666,"sku":"7097931","price":266.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/cb697adeffea585981d7fbae9e32534e.jpg?v=1788825717","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/kennametal-7097931-grooving-insert-carbide-0-125-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
