Kennametal 1096944 Indexable Profiling Toolholder

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1096944 is an external indexable profiling toolholder designed for turning and profiling operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built to Top Notch series standards, this right-hand holder features a 1 x 1 inch square shank and a 6 inch overall length, making it well-suited for standard external turning setups. The NDLP toolholder style uses a clamp-style insert holding method with positive rake geometry, accommodating DP.. series inserts with a 1/2 inch inscribed circle. The steel construction provides rigidity under cutting loads. A -5 degree lead angle supports profiling passes where controlled entry and exit geometry is required.

This toolholder is intended for external turning and profiling applications in production and job-shop environments. It is a right-hand configuration suited for standard lathe setups where the tool approaches the workpiece from the front. The 6 inch OAL and 1.38 inch head length make it a practical choice for medium-reach external cuts on a variety of workpiece diameters. Machinists and CNC operators working with DP.. 432 series inserts will find this holder a direct fit within the Top Notch product family.
