Kennametal 1096002 Mvvn Turning Toolholder 3/4 in Shank

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1096002 is a neutral-hand MVVN-style indexable turning toolholder designed for negative rake angle external turning operations on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. Built on the Kenloc series platform, it uses a clamp-and-screw insert holding method to secure VN..33. series inserts at a 0-degree rake angle. The steel shank measures 0.75 inches wide by 0.75 inches tall with a 4.5-inch overall length, keeping the tool rigid under interrupted cuts and heavy stock removal. Licensed machinists and CNC setup technicians are the primary installers of this toolholder in production and job-shop turning environments.

This toolholder is suited for external turning applications in both production and job-shop environments. The neutral hand orientation allows it to be mounted on either the left or right side of a turret depending on the setup. The 0-degree rake combined with the VN..33. insert geometry makes it appropriate for machining steel, cast iron, and other ferrous materials where a strong cutting edge is required. It does not include a coolant-through feature, making it best suited for flood coolant or dry cutting setups rather than high-pressure through-tool coolant systems.

Key Features

• MVVN toolholder style with neutral hand orientation for flexible turret mounting
• Negative rake at 0 degrees for a strong, stable cutting edge on ferrous materials
• Kenloc clamp-and-screw insert retention system for secure insert lockdown under load
• Accepts VN..33. series inserts, specifically complete compatibility with VN.. 332
• All-steel shank construction for rigidity and durability in production turning
• No coolant-through channel - compatible with flood or dry cutting setups

Compatibility

Designed to accept VN..33. series indexable inserts, with confirmed complete insert compatibility for VN.. 332 inserts. Catalog reference number MVVNN123B. Verify turret pocket and shank clearance dimensions before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or CNC technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle and turret drive before seating or removing the toolholder. Secure the shank fully in the turret pocket and confirm tool centerline height before testing. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping screw condition each time an insert is indexed or replaced.
