DCGT21.51AP KW10 Grade Uncoated Carbide, Indexable Turning Insert For Back Boring, Copying, External Turning, Sub-Spindle
Product Overview
The DCGT070204AP is a precision-engineered uncoated carbide indexable turning insert manufactured by Kyocera in Japan. Designed for Back Boring, Copying, External Turning, Sub-Spindle, this Grade KW10 55 degree diamond insert delivers exceptional surface finish, dimensional accuracy, and extended tool life on CNC turning centers and milling machines.
Engineered with optimized geometry that minimizes cutting forces and enhances chip control, the DCGT070204AP ensures consistent and repeatable results across high-volume production runs. The AP chipbreaker profile provides superior chip evacuation, while the 1/64" nose radius produces consistent surface finishes on non-ferrous metals, plastics, and titanium alloys.

Recommended Cutting Conditions
Parameters for Grade KW10 Uncoated inserts. Values assume stable setup and flood coolant where noted:
| Workpiece Material | Cutting Speed Vc (m/min) | Feed fn (mm/rev) | Depth of Cut ap (mm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aluminum (wrought) | 300–800 | 0.05–0.30 | 0.10–3.0 |
| Copper / Brass | 200–500 | 0.05–0.25 | 0.10–2.5 |
| Titanium Alloy | 30–60 | 0.08–0.20 | 0.20–2.0 |
| Cast Iron (Non-Ferrous) | 100–200 | 0.10–0.30 | 0.20–3.0 |
| Plastics / Composites | 200–600 | 0.05–0.30 | 0.10–4.0 |
Note: Values are starting recommendations. Adjust based on machine rigidity, workpiece condition, and desired surface finish. Use coolant for titanium and heat-sensitive materials.
Operating Guidelines
- Tool Setup: Ensure insert seat is clean and undamaged before clamping
- Cutting Fluid: Flood coolant recommended for aluminum and titanium; dry cutting acceptable for brass and plastics
- Edge Inspection: Check cutting edge under 10× magnification before use – no visible chipping permitted
- Speed Ramp: Start at 70% of recommended Vc and increase gradually while monitoring tool wear
- Chip Control: Verify chip curl and evacuation; adjust feed if chips are too fine or too heavy
- Tool Life: Monitor flank wear (VB). Replace insert when VB exceeds 0.15 mm for finishing or 0.30 mm for roughing
- Storage: Keep inserts in original packaging away from moisture and corrosive environments
Toolholder Compatibility
The DCGT070204AP is compatible with standard ISO toolholders designed for DCGT inserts with 1/4" inscribed circle and 3/32" thickness:
- Toolholder Style: D-type (external/internal turning holders)
- Clamping System: Lever lock or screw clamp (depending on holder design)
- Insert Seat: Standard pocket for 1/4" IC, 3/32" thick inserts
- Hand Compatibility: Neutral orientation required
