Kennametal 1095686 Lh Sclp Turning Toolholder CP..21.5

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1095686 is a left-hand SCLP-style indexable turning toolholder designed for precision external turning operations on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. It features a positive rake geometry that reduces cutting forces and promotes clean chip formation. The toolholder accepts CP..21.5 series inserts secured by a screw-on clamping method, providing rigid, repeatable insert positioning. The 3/8 inch by 3/8 inch square shank and 2.5 inch overall length make it well suited for compact turret positions and tight setups. This toolholder is machined from steel for durability under continuous cutting loads and is intended for installation and use by machinists and CNC turning technicians.

This toolholder is used in external turning applications on both manual and CNC lathes where a left-hand cutting direction is required. The 5-degree lead angle influences chip flow and cutting edge engagement during longitudinal turning passes. Its compact shank size targets smaller bore turrets and toolpost setups common in jobshop and production turning environments. The screw-on insert retention method is straightforward to service at the machine, reducing changeover time during insert indexing.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC turning technician with the machine powered down and in a locked-out, tagged-out state. Ensure the shank seating surfaces in the toolpost or turret are clean and free of chips or burrs before clamping. Use appropriate torque tools when securing insert screws and turret clamping bolts per machine manufacturer guidelines. Do not exceed the insert manufacturer recommended cutting parameters for the CP..21.5 insert series selected.
