Kennametal 1094496 Lh Sclc Turning Toolholder 1/2 in Shank

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1094496 is a left-hand SCLC-style indexable turning toolholder designed for use on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. It features a 0-degree neutral rake angle and accepts CC..32.5. series inserts secured by a screw-on clamping method. The shank measures 0.5 inches wide by 0.5 inches tall with an overall length of 6 inches, making it a compact and rigid choice for standard OD turning operations. The toolholder body is constructed from steel for durability under continuous machining loads. Machinists and CNC turning technicians are the primary installers of this type of toolholder in production and job-shop environments.

This toolholder is suited for external turning applications in both production and short-run machining environments. The left-hand orientation directs cutting forces away from the chuck, making it appropriate for specific turning directions or back-turning operations. The 5-degree lead angle and 0.62-inch head length position the insert for consistent chip formation and surface finish on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. Shops running high-mix turning operations will find this holder compatible with the widely available CC-style insert family.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or CNC turning technician. Before mounting, ensure the lathe spindle is locked and power is fully off or the control is in an E-stop state. Seat the shank fully in the turret or tool block and torque the clamping bolts evenly per the machine tool manufacturer specifications. When indexing inserts, use the correct Torx or hex key for the clamping screw and verify insert seating before resuming cuts.
