Kennametal 1096068 Mcln Indexable Turning Toolholder

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1096068 is a right-hand MCLN-style indexable turning toolholder from the Kenloc series, designed for negative-rake external turning operations on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. The toolholder accepts CN..32. series inserts secured by a clamp and screw holding method, providing a rigid and repeatable cutting setup. The shank measures 1 inch wide by 1 inch high with an overall length of 5 inches, making it suitable for standard tool post and turret mounting. Manufactured from steel, the 1096068 weighs 1.433 pounds and is built for production environments where consistent insert seating and tool life are essential. A 5-degree lead angle and 1.25-inch back-of-bar to cutting edge dimension define the cutting geometry.

This toolholder is used in external turning applications on both manual lathes and CNC turning centers in metalworking environments. The negative-rake configuration is well suited for harder workpiece materials and interrupted cuts where edge strength is a priority. The Kenloc clamping system is a recognized Kennametal platform used across production machining shops and toolrooms. Machinists and CNC programmers working with 1-inch square shank tooling setups will find the 1096068 fits standard MCLN tool station configurations. Coolant-through capability is not supported by this holder.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC toolroom technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is at a full stop and the control is in an E-stop or lock-out state before changing toolholders or inserts. Seat the shank fully in the tool post or turret pocket and torque the clamping screws to the machine or toolholder manufacturer specifications. Verify insert seating and nose radius orientation before resuming cutting operations.
