Widia 3607092 Top Notch Grooving Insert Left Hand Ng-k

Product Description

The WIDIA 3607092 is a Top Notch grooving insert designed for precision grooving and turning operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built to NG-K series standards, this left-hand insert carries a TN6010 grade carbide substrate with a PVD-applied TiAlN coating for extended tool life in demanding cutting environments. The cutting width measures 0.0620 inches (1.580 mm), with a maximum depth of cut of 0.0941 inches (2.39 mm). A positive rake angle of 10 degrees and an 11-degree lead angle promote clean chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces. Two cutting edges are available per insert, and the K chip breaker geometry supports controlled chip formation across a range of workpiece materials.

This insert is suited for grooving and turning applications in both production and job shop environments. Primary workpiece materials include cast iron, stainless steel, super-alloys, titanium, and steel. Non-ferrous metals are listed as secondary workpiece materials. The left-hand orientation makes it appropriate for specific toolholder configurations requiring that hand designation. It is held in place using a clamp-style insert holding method and seats in an NG-K size 3 insert seat.

Compatibility

Designed for use with NG-K series Top Notch grooving toolholders accepting an insert seat size 3. Suitable for grooving and turning operations per the manufacturer specification. ANSI and ISO code for this insert is NG3062LK.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine before seating or removing inserts. Use the appropriate torque driver for the clamp screw to avoid overtightening or damaging the insert pocket. Confirm left-hand orientation matches the toolholder before running the program.
