Kennametal 1096005 Mvvn Neutral Indexable Turning Toolholder

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1096005 is a neutral-hand MVVN-style indexable turning toolholder designed for negative-rake, zero-degree rake-angle external turning operations on the lathe. Built in the Kenloc series, it features a steel construction and a clamp-and-screw insert holding method that locks VN..43. series inserts securely under cutting loads. The shank measures 1 inch wide by 1 inch tall and the toolholder runs 6 inches overall, making it a standard fit for most 1-inch square tool-post or gang-tool setups. The back-of-bar to cutting-edge offset is 0.5 inches, and the head length is 2.25 inches. Weighing 1.65 pounds, it is built for rigid, repeatable insert positioning on production turning work.

This toolholder is intended for use on manual engine lathes and CNC turning centers wherever external turning, facing, or contouring with VNMG or VNGA-style inserts is required. The neutral hand orientation suits straight turning approaches from either a right-hand or centerline setup. It is typically specified by machinists and toolroom personnel running steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous materials at moderate to high material removal rates. The Kenloc clamping system is a common choice in production shops that need quick, repeatable insert changes without sacrificing rigidity.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom personnel. Before mounting or changing inserts, confirm the machine spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a locked or e-stop state. Secure the toolholder in the tool post or turret to the machine manufacturer's recommended clamping torque using calibrated tooling. Use appropriate insert seating and clamping hardware specified for VN..43. inserts; do not substitute clamp or screw components from other toolholder series.
