Kennametal 1096162 Indexable Turning Toolholder MSRNL205D

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1096162 is a left-hand indexable turning toolholder in the MSRNL205D style, engineered for negative-rake external turning operations on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. It uses a clamp-and-screw insert holding method to secure SN-style inserts with a 5/8-inch inscribed circle. The square shank measures 1.25 inches wide by 1.25 inches tall, with an overall length of 6 inches. The steel body is part of the Kenloc series, designed for rigid, repeatable insert indexing under interrupted cuts and continuous turning loads. Machinists and CNC operators working in production and job-shop environments install this holder in standard turning tool blocks and quick-change toolposts.

This toolholder is suited for external turning applications in both production and job-shop settings. It is a left-hand holder, meaning the cutting edge is oriented for specific feed direction and spindle rotation requirements. The Kenloc clamp-and-screw design provides a secure mechanical hold on the insert, reducing movement during heavy cuts. No coolant-through capability is present, making it a straightforward mechanical setup. It is intended for use wherever a left-hand MSRN-style toolholder with a 1.25-inch square shank is required.

• Negative rake geometry compatible with SN.. 543 insert designations
• 1.25-inch by 1.25-inch square steel shank for rigid toolpost mounting
• 6-inch overall length with a 1.46-inch head length
• Part of the Kenloc series for consistent insert indexing and quick changeover

Compatibility

Compatible with SN.. 543 series negative-rake inserts with a 5/8-inch inscribed circle. Designed as an OEM-style Kenloc toolholder for use with standard MSRN-style insert seats on CNC and manual turning equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC setup technicians. The machine spindle must be stopped and all motion arrested before mounting or adjusting the toolholder. Seat the toolholder securely in the tool block or quick-change post and confirm insert clamp torque per standard shop practice before engaging the workpiece. Do not exceed the insert size or geometry specifications to avoid clamp failure or insert fracture.
