Hertel 1000031 Lh Scac Indexable Turning Toolholder

Product Description

The HERTEL 1000031 is a left-hand SCAC-style indexable turning toolholder designed for external turning operations on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. Built with a neutral rake geometry at 0 degrees, it delivers consistent chip flow and predictable cutting performance across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The toolholder features a screw-type insert holding method that locks CC..32.5. series inserts securely during interrupted and continuous cuts. The 0.5-inch square shank suits standard tool blocks and quick-change toolposts commonly found in production and job-shop turning environments. Licensed machinists and CNC operators are the primary installers.

This toolholder is suited for light to medium turning applications in both production and maintenance machining environments. The 10-degree lead angle positions the cutting edge for efficient facing and turning passes with reduced radial cutting forces. It is commonly mounted in turret or gang-tool setups on manual engine lathes and CNC turning centers. The screw-clamping system allows for fast insert indexing without removing the holder from the turret, making it practical for high-change-frequency operations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC setup technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or indexing inserts or mounting the toolholder. Secure the shank fully within the tool block or turret station to the depth recommended by the machine tool builder to prevent deflection. Follow the insert manufacturer torque guidance for the clamping screw and inspect the insert seat and screw threads for wear at each index.
