Kennametal 1094545 SROCN162 Turning Toolholder 1x1 Shank

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1094545 is an indexable turning toolholder in the SROCN162 configuration, designed for use on CNC and manual lathes in metal-cutting operations. It features a neutral-hand orientation and a screw-on insert holding method that locks RC-style inserts with a 1/4-inch inscribed circle securely in place during turning passes. The shank measures 1 inch wide by 1 inch tall, with an overall length of 6 inches. The back-of-bar to cutting edge distance is 0.625 inches. Constructed from steel, this toolholder is built for rigidity under continuous cutting loads. Machinists and toolroom technicians specify this style for its straightforward insert indexing and repeatable tool geometry.

This toolholder is suited for external turning applications on production lathes, turret lathes, and toolroom machines. The SROCN162 style places the insert at a neutral rake angle of 0 degrees, making it appropriate for general-purpose turning of a wide range of workpiece materials. The screw-on clamping method is standard in high-volume environments where rapid insert changes reduce machine downtime. No coolant-through capability is present, so this toolholder is intended for flood-coolant or dry-cutting setups. It is sold individually.

Compatibility

Designed for use with RC-style inserts carrying a 0.25-inch (1/4 inch) inscribed circle, per the complete insert compatibility designation RC.. 215. Verify insert pocket geometry and screw thread specification before substituting inserts from other manufacturers.

Installation Notes

Installation and insert indexing should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician with the machine in a locked-out, tagged-out state per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Seat the shank fully in the tool block or turret station and confirm proper torque on the clamping screws per the machine builder specifications before resuming cutting. Inspect the insert seat and clamping screw for wear or damage each time an insert is indexed. Do not exceed the machine tool's recommended depth of cut or feed rate for the insert grade in use.
