Kennametal 1096370 Indexable Boring Bar

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1096370 is an indexable boring bar designed for internal turning and boring operations on CNC lathes and machining centers. Indexable boring bars accept replaceable carbide inserts, allowing machinists to restore cutting edges quickly without removing the bar from the turret. This design reduces downtime and maintains consistent bore geometry across production runs. The 1096370 weighs 2.7 pounds, indicating a robust steel or heavy-metal shank construction suited to vibration damping in deep-bore applications. It is installed and serviced by machinists, toolroom technicians, and CNC operators working in metal-cutting environments.

This boring bar is suited for internal diameter machining in both roughing and finishing passes, depending on the insert grade selected. Typical applications include boring to close tolerances on steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous workpieces in job shop, production, and repair machining environments. The bar is packaged individually and is available as a single-unit purchase.

Key Features

• Indexable insert design allows fast insert changes without removing the bar from the machine
• Robust shank construction supports vibration damping in deep-bore and interrupted-cut applications
• Single-unit packaging simplifies procurement for low-volume or toolroom use
• Compatible with standard KENNAMETAL indexable insert systems for broad insert availability

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-purchase indexable boring bar for CNC lathe and machining center turret applications. Consult KENNAMETAL tooling documentation for specific insert grade and geometry compatibility with part number 1096370.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC toolroom technicians. Secure the boring bar shank in the turret or tool block to the machine manufacturer's specified clamping torque before operation. Power down and lock out the machine before changing inserts or adjusting the bar position. Follow the insert manufacturer's recommended feed and speed parameters for the selected insert grade and workpiece material.
