Hertel 1000086 Ctcp Indexable Turning Toolholder 0.5x1 Shank

Product Description

The HERTEL 1000086 is a neutral-hand CTCP-style indexable turning toolholder designed for external turning operations on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. It features a 3-degree positive rake angle that reduces cutting forces and promotes clean chip flow across a wide range of workpiece materials. The toolholder accepts TP..32. series inserts secured by a clamp-style holding method, providing rigid insert location and repeatable edge positioning. The shank measures 0.5 inches wide by 1 inch tall with an overall length of 8 inches. The body is machined from steel for durability under continuous cutting loads. Licensed machinists and CNC turning specialists are the primary installers of this toolholder.

This toolholder is suited for production turning environments where a neutral orientation is required to machine workpieces without interfering with the chuck or tailstock. The CTCP style and clamp-type insert retention make it appropriate for medium to heavy roughing and finishing passes on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It is not configured for coolant-through delivery. The 3/8-inch insert inscribed circle accommodates TP..32. series inserts, and the complete insert compatibility reference is TP.. 322. The manufacturers catalog number for this toolholder is CTCPN443.
