Kennametal 1096911 Indexable Turning Toolholder

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1096911 is a CSDPN164-style indexable turning toolholder designed for precision external turning operations on CNC and manual lathes. Built on the Kendex series platform, this toolholder features a neutral hand orientation and a clamp-style insert holding method that secures SP..42. series inserts with positive rake geometry at a 5-degree rake angle. The shank measures 1 inch wide by 1 inch tall with an overall length of 6 inches, making it a compact, rigid solution for tight machine setups. The toolholder body is constructed from steel for durability under continuous cutting loads. Installation and use are limited to qualified machinists and CNC turning technicians.

This toolholder is suited for external turning applications in both production and job-shop environments. The CSDP toolholder style accommodates SP.. 422 inserts with a 0.5-inch inscribed circle, supporting moderate to heavy material removal on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. The 0.5-inch back-of-bar to cutting edge dimension positions the insert consistently for repeatable depth-of-cut settings. The 1.38-inch head length provides clearance geometry appropriate for facing and profiling passes. This toolholder is intended for professional machining environments and is sold individually.

Key Features

• CSDPN164 toolholder style with neutral hand orientation for flexible setup on most turning centers
• Clamp-style insert retention secures SP.. 422 inserts reliably under interrupted and continuous cuts
• Positive rake geometry at 5 degrees reduces cutting forces and heat generation
• 1 inch by 1 inch steel shank provides rigidity and straightforward tool-post fitment
• 6-inch overall length with 1.38-inch head length balances reach and stiffness
• Kendex series construction — no coolant-through, dedicated to external turning applications

Compatibility

Compatible with SP.. 422 series indexable inserts with a 0.5-inch inscribed circle. Designed as an OEM-style toolholder for external turning operations requiring a 1 inch by 1 inch shank seat and CSDP-style geometry.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC turning technician with the machine powered down and the spindle locked before toolholder exchange. Secure the shank fully in the tool post or turret seat to the depth specified by the machine tool manufacturer to prevent chatter and tool pull-out. Torque the insert clamp screw according to the insert manufacturer's guidelines using a calibrated torque wrench. Verify insert seating and cutting edge position before resuming cutting operations.
