Kennametal 1096280 Mdpn Neutral Turning Toolholder 1x1 Shank

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1096280 is a neutral-hand MDPN-style indexable turning toolholder built for negative rake insert applications in CNC and manual lathe operations. Part of the Kenloc series, it accepts DN..43. style inserts secured by a clamp and screw holding method, providing rigid, repeatable insert seating during interrupted and continuous turning cuts. The shank measures 1 inch wide by 1 inch tall with an overall length of 6 inches. The steel body is engineered to handle the cutting forces typical of negative rake tooling in production turning environments.

This toolholder is suited for external turning operations on CNC lathes and manual engine lathes in both job shop and production settings. The neutral hand orientation allows use where approach angle flexibility is needed and where a dedicated right- or left-hand holder is not required. Licensed machinists, CNC setup technicians, and toolroom professionals typically specify and install this holder in standard square-shank tool posts and turrets.
