Kennametal 1096338 Mtjn Turning Toolholder 1x1 Shank

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1096338 is a right-hand MTJN-style indexable turning toolholder designed for negative rake cutting operations on CNC and manual lathes. Part of the Kenloc series, it features a 1 x 1 inch square shank and an overall length of 6 inches. The toolholder accepts TN..33. series inserts secured by a clamp and screw holding method, providing rigid, repeatable insert positioning. It is manufactured from steel and suited for external turning applications where stable insert clamping and consistent geometry are required. Licensed machinists and CNC turning specialists are the primary installers and users of this toolholder.

This toolholder is applied in external longitudinal and facing turning operations on lathes equipped to accept a 1 x 1 inch shank. The 3-degree lead angle geometry and negative rake configuration make it well suited for heavy interrupted cuts and general-purpose turning of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The Kenloc clamping system locks the insert firmly without requiring special tooling, making insert indexing fast during production runs. No coolant-through capability is present on this holder.
