Kyocera JCGT030102R-F KW10 TWE03509 Insert - CNC Copying & Turning

Product Overview

The right-hand JCGT030102R-F mirrors its left-hand variant with a 0.008" radius and F chipbreaker for CNC copying and turning. Its 3/16" body and 80° geometry provide excellent accessibility in tight workspaces.

ISO Designation Breakdown

Engineering Dimensions & Geometry

Grade Details - Key Grade Characteristics

KW10 is a premium uncoated fine-grain tungsten carbide grade in the ISO K10 classification. It is engineered specifically for machining non-ferrous metals, cast iron, and non-metallic materials where built-up edge resistance and surface finish are paramount.

• Substrate: Ultra-fine WC-Co grain structure (≈0.5–0.8 μm)
• Coercivity: High, indicating uniform grain distribution and excellent edge stability
• Hardness: ~92.0 HRA, providing superior wear resistance at elevated speeds
• Transverse Rupture Strength: Moderate, optimized for stable finishing rather than heavy interrupted cutting
• Binder Content: Balanced cobalt level for toughness without sacrificing hardness
• Surface Finish: Mirror-polished rake and flank faces to minimize friction and material adhesion

Chipbreaker Profile

The F-type chipbreaker is a fine-finishing groove with a shallow depth and wide opening angle. It is tailored for low-feed copying and contouring where chip thickness remains minimal. The gentle chip curl radius prevents chip jamming in small-bore applications while maintaining a pristine surface finish.

Recommended Applications & Workpiece Materials

The JCGT030102R-F KW10 is recommended for the following workpiece materials and operations:

• Aluminum & Aluminum Alloys: Excellent for wrought and cast grades; mirror finish achievable at high speeds
• Copper & Copper Alloys: Prevents material adhesion and built-up edge; ideal for electrical component machining
• Cast Iron (Gray & Ductile): Stable cutting at medium speeds; good abrasion resistance against graphite inclusions
• Titanium & Titanium Alloys: Low cutting forces reduce work hardening; polished rake minimizes chemical affinity
• Plastics & Composites: Sharp edge prevents delamination and fiber pull-out in CFRP/GFRP
• Brass & Bronze: Long tool life with minimal edge chipping; excellent for decorative turned parts

Application Map by Operation

Recommended Cutting Conditions

Parameters below are starting recommendations for stable machining with flood coolant or mist application. Adjust based on machine rigidity and workpiece fixturing.

Operating Guidelines

• Coolant: Flood soluble oil or synthetic coolant is strongly recommended for aluminum and titanium to prevent built-up edge and extend tool life.
• Tool Overhang: Minimize overhang for boring operations; use anti-vibration toolholders when L/D exceeds 4:1.
• Edge Preparation: Do not hone or alter the factory-polished edge; micro-honing will increase cutting forces and reduce finish quality.
• Indexing: Ensure the insert seat is clean and free of chips before indexing; torque clamping screws to manufacturer specification.
• Speed Ramp: When starting a new job, begin at the lower end of the recommended Vc range and increase gradually while monitoring surface finish and chip form.
• Storage: Store inserts in original packaging away from moisture and corrosive atmospheres to prevent edge degradation.

Toolholder Compatibility

Compatible toolholder families for the JCGT right-hand insert:

• STFCR / STFCL – 60° triangle external turning holders (right-hand / left-hand)
• SCLCR / SCLCL – 95° approach angle cylindrical turning holders
• SSKCR / SSKCL – 45° approach angle facing and turning holders
• E10K-STFCR / E12K-STFCL – Mini-boring bars for small-diameter internal work
• A16M-SCLCR – Anti-vibration boring bar for deep-hole applications
• PDJNR / PDJNL – 93° approach angle for heavy-duty turning

Always verify toolholder seat geometry (ISOI) and clamping system (lever lock, screw clamp, or pin lock) before mounting.
