Frequently Asked Questions
In stable finishing conditions, the KC5010 grade can often outperform conventional AlTiN or TiCN grades by 30–40%, especially on steel/stainless jobs — meaning fewer tool changes for your shop.
This insert is intended primarily for finishing and general-purpose turning. For heavy roughing, a more robust geometry (e.g. with stronger edge or wiper geometry) is recommended.
It performs excellently on steel (P group), stainless steel (M group), cast iron (K group), and is capable even in some non-ferrous and high-temp alloy applications.
The VBMT160402LF style is 9.53 mm inscribed circle, 4.76 mm thick, 16.61 mm cutting edge, with 0.2 mm corner radius. Other geometries (corner radii, chipbreaker designs) may be available under the VBMT-LF family.
