Popular KENNAMETAL Grades

KENNAMETAL grade families use the "KC" prefix, with the second letter hinting at the application: KC7xxx (steel P-grade CVD), KCKxx (stainless/universal CVD), KCPxx (steel heavy-roughing CVD thick Al2O3), and KCMxx (cermet). Here are the most-requested grades we can source for you:

KC7315
Steel P05–P25
CVD Beyond Blast
General-purpose steel turning from finishing to medium roughing; the workhorse of KENNAMETAL steel grades.
KCP25
Steel P15–P35
CVD thick Al2O3
Heavy roughing of steel under high-load conditions; tough edge for interrupted cuts and forging-scale surfaces.
KCP30
Steel P15–P35
CVD multi-layer
General-purpose steel turning; stable wear life at moderate cutting speeds.
KCK20
Steel P15–P35 / Stainless M15–M35
CVD multi-layer
Versatile steel and stainless grade for mixed production; the universal workhorse.
KCM25
Steel P05–P15 / Cast Iron K05–K15
Cermet (uncoated)
High-speed finishing of steel and cast iron at low feeds; mirror-finish surface with minimal built-up edge.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is KENNAMETAL as good as Sandvik, Iscar, or Mitsubishi?

Yes. KENNAMETAL is a top-tier global carbide insert brand and a major supplier to North American automotive and aerospace OEMs. Many KENNAMETAL grades are direct equivalents to Sandvik GC4325, Iscar IC8150, and Mitsubishi US7020 in steel, stainless, and cast iron. Use our cross-reference tools to compare specific grades.

Where are KENNAMETAL inserts made?

All genuine KENNAMETAL inserts are manufactured in the USA (Kennametal Inc., headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with major production in Latrobe, Rogers, and other US facilities). Products sold on CNCHome-Beyond are sourced directly from KENNAMETAL USA with full lot traceability.

What is Beyond Blast coating, and why does it matter?

Beyond Blast is KENNAMETAL's proprietary alumina CVD coating technology that uses a controlled blasting process to create a thicker, more wear-resistant Al2O3 layer. The Beyond Blast coating extends tool life in steel turning by 20-30% compared to standard CVD coatings, especially at high cutting speeds. The KC7-series and KCP-series grades use this technology.

Why only one KENNAMETAL product listed on cnchome-beyond.com?

KENNAMETAL is a high-end American brand with a deep catalog of more than 10,000 stock-keeping units.

The WNMG0804FP KC5010 is our highest-turnover KENNAMETAL insert and is kept in stock for fast shipment.

Can I request a KENNAMETAL grade or geometry not shown on the site?

Yes. Use the WhatsApp button or the Request a Quote link below. We source any KENNAMETAL insert, end mill, drill, or tool holder from KENNAMETAL USA on demand, typically with 2–3 week lead time and 30-50% below US OEM list price.
