Kennametal 1096337 Mtjn Indexable Turning Toolholder

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1096337 is a right-hand MTJN-style indexable turning toolholder designed for negative-rake insert cutting operations on CNC and manual lathes. Part of the Kenloc series, it accepts TN..43. style inserts held in place by a combination clamp and screw mechanism, providing rigid insert retention under heavy cutting loads. The shank measures 3/4 inches wide by 3/4 inches tall with an overall length of 4.5 inches, making it suited to standard tool post and turret applications. Machinists and tool setters working in production or job-shop turning environments will find this holder dimensionally straightforward to set up and index.

This toolholder is intended for external turning applications where a right-hand cut direction is required. The 3-degree lead angle positions the insert for controlled chip flow and reduced radial cutting forces. The insert inscribed circle capacity is 0.5 inches, supporting mid-range insert sizes in the TN..432 family. It is a non-coolant-through design and is not configured as a multi-use tool, keeping setup simple for dedicated turning stations in both prototype and volume production environments.

Key Features

• MTJN toolholder style with right-hand cutting orientation
• Negative rake geometry for improved edge strength on difficult materials
• Clamp and screw insert holding method for secure, repeatable indexing
• 3/4 x 3/4 inch shank cross-section with 4.5 inch overall length
• Accepts TN..432 inserts with 0.5 inch inscribed circle
• Kenloc series construction in steel for rigidity and durability

Compatibility

Designed to accept TN..43. style inserts, with complete insert compatibility confirmed for the TN..432 insert family. Verify insert geometry and nose radius against your specific machining application before ordering inserts separately.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tool setter with the machine powered down and the spindle locked or tagged out per facility lockout/tagout procedures. Confirm shank dimensions against the tool post or turret bore before mounting. Torque the clamping hardware per the toolholder manufacturer's guidelines using calibrated tooling - do not over-tighten the clamp screw. Inspect the insert pocket seating surface for chips or debris before each insert index.
