Kaiser Thinbit LGT076D2RFR Grooving Insert .076in Width .190in Depth

Description

Product Overview

The Kaiser Thinbit LGT076D2RFR grooving insert is a high‑performance cutting tool designed for demanding machining environments. Constructed from premium uncoated DURA‑MAX 2000 carbide, the insert offers exceptional wear resistance and stability during high‑speed operations. With a width of .076 inches and a maximum depth of .190 inches, it delivers precise material removal while maintaining a full‑radius geometry that reduces vibration and improves surface finish. The insert’s interrupted cuts are engineered to minimize chip adhesion and facilitate smooth chip evacuation, making it ideal for machining steel, cast iron, and stainless steel. Each package contains three identical inserts, providing flexibility for multi‑tool setups and ensuring spare capacity for continuous production runs. The compact dimensions (0.83 x 0.17 x 0.24 inches) allow for easy integration into a variety of large‑series toolholders, supporting both right‑hand straight and left‑hand 90‑degree orientations.

Usage

Designed for a broad range of industrial applications, the Thinbit grooving insert excels in both turning and grooving operations where accuracy and repeatability are critical. It is particularly effective in creating grooves, arcs, and angled cuts on medium to heavy‑duty workpieces, including automotive components, aerospace parts, and heavy equipment housings. The insert can handle parting cuts up to .380 inches, allowing operators to separate sections of material without sacrificing tool life. Its ability to cut flush to the collet face or shoulder of larger diameter tools ensures seamless transitions between roughing and finishing passes. The robust carbide composition tolerates the high temperatures generated during machining of hardened steels, while the interrupted cut design reduces the risk of built‑up edge formation on stainless steel surfaces. Users can confidently employ the insert in CNC turning centers, manual lathes, and multi‑axis machining centers, benefiting from its compatibility with standard large‑series toolholders.

FAQ

What materials can this insert machine effectively?

The Thinbit LGT076D2RFR is optimized for steel, cast iron, and stainless steel. Its carbide composition and interrupted cut geometry allow it to handle a wide range of hardness levels while maintaining consistent chip flow.

Can the insert be used with both right‑hand and left‑hand toolholders?

Yes. The insert is compatible with large‑series toolholders and can be mounted in a right‑hand straight orientation or a left‑hand 90‑degree configuration, providing flexibility for various machining setups.

How deep can the insert cut in a single pass?

The insert is rated for a maximum depth of .190 inches per pass, and it can part material up to .380 inches when used in a parting operation, delivering efficient material removal without compromising tool integrity.

What is the recommended coolant usage?

While the insert can operate dry, using a high‑pressure coolant stream helps to dissipate heat, extend tool life, and improve chip evacuation, especially when machining stainless steel or hardened alloys.

Is technical support available for installation and optimization?

Absolutely. Kaiser provides downloadable CAD files, toolholder compatibility guides, and direct technical assistance to help users achieve optimal performance and resolve any setup questions quickly.
