Kyocera VNBR 0730003 KW10 Grade Uncoated Carbide, Micro Boring Bar
Product Overview
The Kyocera VNBR0730-003 is a KW10-grade uncoated carbide micro boring insert designed for precision micro boring. Manufactured in Japan under ISO 9001:2015 quality standards, this insert combines an ultra-fine grain substrate with precision-ground geometry to deliver excellent surface integrity, optimized chip flow, and prolonged tool durability in small-diameter internal machining.
Engineered for right-hand applications in bores down to 0.2756", the VNBR0730-003 features a 35° rhombic shape with 0° clearance, optimized for low cutting forces and minimal deflection in slender boring bars. Each insert provides 1 precision cutting edge for consistent bore quality.

Recommended Applications & Workpiece Materials
The SWIQ series micro boring insert is engineered for precision internal turning in small-diameter bores. The KW10 grade delivers excellent surface integrity in bores as small as 0.2756".
- Cast Iron: Grey cast iron (FC250, FC300) — stable boring with excellent dimensional control
- Non-Ferrous Metals: Aluminum alloys, brass, copper — superior surface finish in micro-bores
- Titanium Alloys: Ti-6Al-4V — low cutting forces minimize deflection in slender boring bars
- Hardened Steels: Up to 45 HRC — precision sizing and finishing operations
Application Map by Operation
| Operation | Suitability | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| Internal Boring | ★★★★★ | Primary — minimum bore 0.2756" |
| Internal Turning | ★★★★★ | Excellent for finishing bores |
| Internal Profiling | ★★★★☆ | 35° nose angle allows contouring |
| External Turning | ★☆☆☆☆ | Not recommended — internal use only |
| Grooving | ★☆☆☆☆ | Not designed for groove geometry |
Recommended Cutting Conditions
Parameters below serve as starting points. Optimize based on machine rigidity, coolant delivery, and workpiece condition:
| Material | Vc (m/min) | f (mm/rev) | ap (mm) | Coolant |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grey Cast Iron | 60–100 | 0.03–0.08 | 0.1–0.5 | Dry / Compressed air |
| Aluminum Alloy | 120–250 | 0.02–0.06 | 0.1–0.4 | Water-soluble / MQL |
| Brass / Bronze | 80–150 | 0.03–0.07 | 0.1–0.4 | Dry preferred |
| Titanium Alloy | 15–30 | 0.01–0.04 | 0.05–0.3 | High-pressure coolant |
Operating Guidelines
- Tool Setup: Ensure boring bar center height is exactly on spindle centerline (±0.01 mm). Below-center causes rubbing; above-center increases rake and risk of dig-in.
- Edge Inspection: Visually inspect insert cutting edge under 20× magnification before installation. In micro-boring, even 0.01 mm edge damage affects surface finish.
- Bore Preparation: Pre-drill or pre-bore to within 0.3 mm of final size. Leave consistent stock for the VNBR0730-003 to remove in one or two passes.
- Coolant Strategy: For cast iron and brass, dry machining is preferred. For titanium and stainless, apply high-pressure coolant through the tool if available.
- Speed Ramping: Start at 60% of recommended Vc for the first 3 bores to verify stability, then increase to 100%.
- Insert Indexing: In micro-boring, replace insert when surface finish degrades or bore tolerance exceeds 50% of limit — do not wait for visible flank wear.
- Storage: Store inserts in original packaging. Handle with clean gloves to prevent oil/contamination on the precision ground seating surface.
Toolholder Compatibility
| Holder Series | Insert Size | Holder Type | Clamp System |
|---|---|---|---|
| SWIQ-07 | 07 mm | Swiss IQ micro boring bar | Screw clamp + pin |
| SVNR-07 | 07 mm | Standard internal turning bar | Lever lock |
| SSVNR-07 | 07 mm | Screw-clamp internal holder | Screw clamp |
Mounting Notes: For micro-boring, use a torque screwdriver set to 0.8 N·m. Over-torquing deforms the precision pocket. Verify insert seats flush with no visible gap.
