Klein KleinDIA® Two-Edge Reversible Carbide Insert, 30 x 12 x 1.5 mm
Two-Edge
KleinDIA® Insert
Klein Z055.033.NKD is a two-edge reversible HW carbide insert in the Z055.KD family, finished with KleinDIA® DLC anti-friction coating. The exact Item row specifies a 30 x 12 x 1.5 mm format, two fixing holes, a 35° edge angle, and KCR08 carbide grade.
Main Product Description
Klein Z055.033.NKD is the exact 30 mm variant within the Z055.KD family of KleinDIA®-coated special reversible HW inserts. The official Item row specifies 30 mm total length, 12 mm width, 1.5 mm thickness, a 35° edge angle, two fixing holes, two usable cutting edges, and KCR08 carbide grade.
KleinDIA® is a Diamond-Like Carbon anti-friction surface treatment rather than a PCD cutting edge. SISTEMI applies an approximately 1 micron coating at low temperature so the underlying carbide geometry is retained. The coating is specified with high hardness, strong wear resistance, low friction, and low material adhesion to support chip flow, finish quality, and reduced maintenance in suitable production work.
Official application guidance includes MDF/HDF, plywood, softwood, hardwood, and chipboard. The insert must be installed only in a compatible body designed for its exact dimensions, two-hole fixing layout, edge geometry, and clamping arrangement. The tool body, screws, and installation hardware are not implied to be included with this replacement insert.
Best Fit Applications
Product Highlights
Two Reversible Cutting Edges
The verified insert format provides two usable cutting edges with two fixing holes for secure positioning in a compatible tool body.
KleinDIA® DLC Surface Treatment
The approximately 1 micron anti-friction coating is designed to improve wear resistance, reduce heat and adhesion, and support cleaner chip evacuation.
Exact KCR08 Production Format
Item Z055.033.NKD combines KCR08 carbide with exact 30 x 12 x 1.5 mm dimensions, a two-hole fixing pattern, and a 35° edge angle.
Compatibility & Installation Notes
Replacement insert only; the tool body and clamping hardware are sold separately unless a Titan listing explicitly states otherwise. Confirm SKU Z055.033.NKD and match the exact 30 x 12 x 1.5 mm dimensions, two-hole fixing layout, 35° geometry, insert pocket, screw specification, and body compatibility. Installation, pocket cleaning, insert seating, fastener condition, and tightening must follow the tool-body manufacturer’s procedure; do not substitute a visually similar insert or use damaged clamping components.
Coated Carbide Production Performance
Klein Z055.033.NKD combines a two-edge KCR08 carbide insert with a verified 30 x 12 x 1.5 mm format, two fixing holes, a 35° edge angle, and KleinDIA® DLC coating.
Correct body compatibility, pocket condition, seating, clamping hardware, and installation procedure are essential to achieving the intended finish, chip flow, wear resistance, and service life.
