Kennametal 1096217 Indexable Turning Toolholder 1x1 in

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1096217 is a right-hand indexable turning toolholder in the MTFN style, engineered for negative-rake external turning operations on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. It uses a clamp-screw holding method to secure TN-style inserts with a 0.5-inch inscribed circle, providing rigid, repeatable insert positioning under heavy cuts. The shank measures 1 inch wide by 1 inch tall, and the overall length is 6 inches. Built from steel and part of the Kenloc series, this toolholder is designed for machinists and turning specialists who require consistent tool geometry and reliable insert retention in production environments.

This toolholder is suited for external turning, facing, and profiling operations on lathes in both job-shop and production settings. The MTFN style positions the insert at a -5-degree rake angle, making it well matched for hard and interrupted cuts where negative-rake geometry improves edge strength. The 1-by-1-inch shank fits standard quick-change and block-style tool posts commonly found in these setups. Compatible insert style is TN..432, covering a range of triangular negative-rake inserts in that form factor.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Ensure the lathe or turning center is fully powered down and the spindle is locked before mounting or removing toolholders. Verify shank-to-tool-post fit and clamp torque per the machine tool manufacturer's specifications. Confirm insert seating and clamp-screw engagement before resuming any cutting operation.
