Ingersoll Cutting Tools 6163654 Grooving Toolholder Tte

Product Description

The INGERSOLL CUTTING TOOLS 6163654 is a left-hand, external indexable grooving toolholder in the TTE style, part of the T-Clamp Ultra Plus series. It accepts a wide range of compatible inserts secured by a clamp-type holding method, making insert changes fast and repeatable on the shop floor. The toolholder features a 0.5-inch square shank with a 4.25-inch shank length and an overall length of 5.0 inches. A minimum groove width of 0.069 inches allows work on tight-tolerance grooving and cut-off applications. Machinists and CNC toolroom technicians are the primary installers of this holder.

This toolholder is suited for external grooving and cut-off operations on lathes and turning centers. Its left-hand orientation makes it the correct choice for applications where the tool approaches the workpiece from the left side of the turret or tool post. The TTE-style head geometry and clamp insert-holding method are optimized for stable, vibration-resistant cuts in production turning environments, both in job shop and high-volume manufacturing settings. Coolant-through capability is not included on this holder.
