Kennametal 1096072 Mcln Indexable Turning Toolholder

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1096072 is a right-hand MCLN-style indexable turning toolholder from the Kenloc series, designed for external turning operations on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. It accepts CN..54. series inserts secured by a combination clamp and screw holding method, providing rigid, repeatable insert positioning under negative rake cutting conditions. The shank measures 1 inch wide by 1 inch tall with an overall length of 6 inches, making it a standard square-shank holder suitable for a wide range of tool post and turret configurations. Licensed machinists and CNC operators install this holder in production and job-shop environments where consistent insert indexing and tool life are priorities.

This toolholder is suited for general-purpose external turning in both roughing and finishing passes where negative rake geometry is preferred for harder workpiece materials or interrupted cuts. The 5-degree lead angle and 1.37-inch head length position the cutting edge to promote chip flow away from the finished surface. The Kenloc clamping system is a well-established platform used across a broad range of KENNAMETAL indexable tooling programs, supporting fast insert changes during production runs. No coolant-through capability is present on this holder, so external coolant delivery must be used when flood or mist cooling is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC setup technicians. Before mounting or changing inserts, the machine spindle must be stopped and all motion axes must be locked out following the machine builder lockout-tagout procedure. Torque the clamp screw to the insert manufacturer specification using the appropriate Torx or hex key supplied with the Kenloc tooling system. Verify tool centerline height and lead angle orientation against the setup sheet before resuming cutting operations.
