Kyocera VNBR 020602 KW10 Grade Uncoated Carbide, Micro Boring Bar
Product Overview
The Kyocera VNBR0206-02 KW10 Grade Uncoated Carbide Micro Boring Bar is engineered for micro boring operations requiring exceptional dimensional accuracy and surface finish quality. Manufactured by Kyocera in Japan, this precision insert combines an ultra-fine grain carbide substrate with optimized cutting geometry to deliver consistent performance in high-volume production environments. The KW10 grade substrate provides superior edge sharpness and wear resistance for finishing operations where minimal cutting forces and thermal stability are critical.

Recommended Applications & Workpiece Materials
The VNBR0206-02 with KW10 grade is optimized for machining the following material groups:
- Steels: Carbon steels (AISI 1045), alloy steels (4140), stainless steels (304, 316), cast iron (GG25), and aluminum alloys
- Stainless Steels: Austenitic 300-series (304, 316, 321) and duplex grades
- Cast Irons: Gray cast iron (GG20–GG30), nodular iron (GGG40–GGG60)
- Non-Ferrous: Aluminum alloys (6061, 7075), copper, brass, and bronze
- Superalloys: Limited application in nickel-based alloys at reduced cutting speeds
Not recommended for: Hardened steels above 45 HRC, titanium alloys (Ti-6Al-4V), or heavy interrupted cutting of abrasive materials.
Application Map by Operation
Operational suitability matrix for the VNBR0206-02 insert configuration:
| Operation Type | Suitability | Recommended Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Micro Boring | Primary | Vc 150–250 m/min, f 0.05–0.15 mm/rev |
| External Turning | Conditional | Light finishing passes only |
| Facing | Not Recommended | N/A |
| Profiling | Conditional | Low DOC, high precision setup |
Recommended Cutting Conditions
Parameters below represent starting values for stable machining with flood coolant or minimum quantity lubrication (MQL). Adjust based on machine rigidity, workpiece clamping, and desired surface finish:
| Workpiece Material | Cutting Speed Vc (m/min) | Feed f (mm/rev) | Depth of Cut ap (mm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low-Carbon Steel (C<0.25%) | 180–250 | 0.05–0.12 | 0.1–0.5 |
| Medium-Carbon Steel (0.25–0.55%) | 150–220 | 0.05–0.10 | 0.1–0.4 |
| Austenitic Stainless Steel | 120–180 | 0.05–0.10 | 0.1–0.3 |
| Gray Cast Iron (HB 180–220) | 150–200 | 0.08–0.15 | 0.2–0.6 |
| Aluminum Alloy (Si<10%) | 300–500 | 0.05–0.15 | 0.1–0.5 |
Notes: For dry machining, reduce cutting speed by 15–20%. For internal operations, reduce Vc by 10–15% due to chip evacuation constraints. Always use sharp inserts for finishing – regrind or replace when flank wear exceeds 0.10 mm.
Operating Guidelines
- Tool Setup: Ensure insert seating surface is clean and free of debris. Torque clamping screw to 2.5–3.0 N·m for secure fixation.
- Runout Tolerance: Maintain toolholder runout below 0.01 mm TIR at the cutting edge for optimal finish and insert life.
- Coolant Strategy: High-pressure coolant (70+ bar) directed at the cutting edge is recommended for chip evacuation in deep boring and grooving operations.
- Edge Preparation: The KW10 grade features a honed T-land edge (0.02–0.05 mm). Do not attempt to re-hone – replace insert when edge deterioration is visible.
- Depth of Cut: For micro-machining, maintain ap ≤ 0.5 × corner radius to prevent burr formation and ensure dimensional stability.
- Surface Finish Optimization: Use highest possible cutting speed within recommended range and lowest stable feed rate. Increase nose radius if geometric constraints allow.
Toolholder Compatibility
The VNBR0206-02 insert is designed for use with the following Kyocera and industry-standard toolholder families:
- Compatible Holders: Standard VN series toolholders and boring bars
- Clamping System: Top-clamp or lever-lock depending on holder design
- Insert Orientation: Right-hand (right-hand) configuration
- Holder Material: Alloy steel body with hardened pocket (45–50 HRC)
- Replacement Parts: Use Kyocera OEM clamping screws and cartridges to maintain precision
For custom toolholder configurations or Swiss-type machine adapters, contact Kyocera technical support with your machine spindle and turret specifications.
