KENFA cutting inserts cover stainless steel, steel, aluminum, grooving, threading, ceramic and PCD options for turning, milling and grooving applications. Buyers should choose by workpiece material, insert shape, chipbreaker, coating, holder compatibility and verified machining conditions before submitting an RFQ.
Which cutting insert family should a buyer start with?
Start with the workpiece material and operation. Stainless steel inserts fit ISO M turning problems, aluminum inserts prioritize sharp edges and chip evacuation, grooving inserts focus on slot control, and PCD tools are reserved for high-wear non-ferrous or finishing applications.
Core KENFA cutting insert groups
- Stainless steel WN/TN and new stainless steel insert series.
- Rhombus, triangular inner hole, W-type and C-type carbide inserts.
- Grooving, end-groove, threaded and AP external groove inserts.
- Aluminum/copper inserts, ceramic inserts and PCD/diamond cutting tools.

Catalog proof images
What should be included in the RFQ?
Send the workpiece material, operation, insert model or equivalent model, holder model if known, coating or grade target, quantity, target tool life and photos of the current machining issue.
People also ask
Which insert is suitable for stainless steel turning?
Use a stainless-focused WN or TN insert family and confirm chipbreaker, holder and workpiece grade before final selection.
Can one insert be used for steel and stainless steel?
Some grades are general purpose, but final choice should depend on material, cutting condition and target tool life.
When should PCD inserts be considered?
Consider PCD or diamond tools when high wear resistance and fine finish are more important than general-purpose cost.
What information is needed for a replacement insert?
Provide the existing insert code, holder model, workpiece material, quantity and problem photos.
Request a tooling quotation
For model matching or quotation, send the workpiece material, machining operation, current insert, cutter or boring bar model, order quantity and drawings or photos through the KENFA RFQ page.
