Kennametal 1067631 Cm Clamp Indexable Right Hand Top Notch

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1067631 is a CM-style clamp designed for use with indexable inserts in the Top Notch series tooling system. It secures indexable inserts in the tool holder during turning and grooving operations, maintaining proper insert positioning under cutting loads. The clamp is configured for right-hand cutting direction. At 0.05 pounds, it is a lightweight but precision-machined component that plays a direct role in insert retention and tool performance. Licensed machinists, toolroom technicians, and CNC lathe operators are the primary users of this component.

This clamp is intended for use in turning and grooving applications where Top Notch series toolholders are in service. It is suited for production environments running right-hand cutting operations on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. The CM clamp style is specific to the Top Notch system and is not interchangeable with other insert clamping systems. This part is sold individually and is typically stocked in multiples to support ongoing tool maintenance and insert change cycles on the shop floor.

Installation Notes

This clamp is installed and serviced by machinists or toolroom personnel familiar with indexable insert tooling systems. Before replacing or adjusting the clamp, ensure the machine is fully powered down and the spindle is locked. Use only the manufacturer-specified clamping screw torque procedure as referenced in the Top Notch system toolholder documentation. Do not substitute clamp styles across different insert clamping systems, as improper fit can result in insert ejection during a cut.
