Description
Product Overview
The LGT030D2RCR010 THINBIT grooving insert is engineered for high‑precision machining across a range of metal substrates. Constructed from uncoated DURA‑MAX 2000 carbide, the insert offers exceptional wear resistance and edge retention, ensuring consistent performance even in demanding environments. Its compact .030″ width and .090″ depth enable tight groove creation, while the .010″ corner radius provides a smooth finish that minimizes stress concentrations on the workpiece.
Designed as a 3‑pack, this product delivers flexibility for multiple tool setups or quick replacement during high‑volume production runs. The interrupted cut geometry reduces chip adhesion, allowing smoother chip evacuation and decreasing the likelihood of tool retraction or breakage. Compatibility with large series toolholders, both RH straight and LH 90‑degree configurations, expands its applicability across a variety of CNC turning centers.
Technical specifications include a product dimension of 0.83 x 0.17 x 0.24 inches, making it suitable for tight toolholder clearances. The insert is rated for parting operations up to .180″ deep, providing a versatile solution for both shallow and moderate depth cuts. Its robust construction ensures longevity, reducing the total cost of ownership for manufacturers who demand reliability and repeatability.
Manufactured by Kaiser Tool Company, Inc., a trusted name in cutting tool technology, the LGT030D2RCR010 benefits from rigorous quality control processes. Each insert undergoes precise grinding and inspection to meet exacting standards, guaranteeing that the dimensions and geometry remain within tight tolerances. This attention to detail translates into superior surface finish and dimensional accuracy for the end user.

Usage
This grooving insert excels in applications where precise groove placement and clean cuts are essential. Typical use cases include creating keyways, slots, and decorative arcs on steel shafts, cast‑iron components, and stainless‑steel parts. The interrupted cut design is particularly advantageous in high‑speed turning operations, where rapid chip removal is critical to maintain surface integrity and prevent thermal buildup.
Machinists in automotive, aerospace, and heavy equipment industries will find the LGT030D2RCR010 suitable for producing intricate features on engine components, turbine blades, and structural brackets. Its ability to cut flush to a collet face or shoulder of larger diameters makes it ideal for tight‑tolerance assemblies where space constraints limit tool access.
When paired with a stable CNC platform and proper coolant delivery, the insert delivers consistent performance across a range of spindle speeds. Operators should select appropriate feed rates and cutting speeds based on material hardness to maximize tool life and achieve the desired surface finish.

FAQ
What materials can the LGT030D2RCR010 insert machine?
The insert is suitable for machining steel, cast iron, and stainless steel. Its carbide composition handles a wide range of hardness levels, making it versatile for many industrial applications.
How deep can the insert cut in a single pass?
It can part stock up to .180″ deep in a single pass while maintaining a clean cut. For deeper grooves, multiple passes are recommended to preserve tool integrity.
Is the insert compatible with both right‑hand and left‑hand toolholders?
Yes, the insert works with large series toolholders in both RH straight and LH 90‑degree configurations, offering flexibility for different machine setups.
What is the benefit of the interrupted cut geometry?
The interrupted cuts break the chip into smaller segments, facilitating easier evacuation and reducing the chance of chip re‑adhesion. This leads to smoother finishes and less tool wear.
Can I get technical assistance for optimizing cutting parameters?
Absolutely. Kaiser Tool Company provides engineering support to help you select the best feed rates, speeds, and coolant strategies for your specific material and machine configuration.
