Kennametal 1096948 Indexable Turning Toolholder CTAPR082B

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1096948 is a right-hand indexable turning toolholder in the CTAP style, designed for use with TP..221 series inserts held by a top clamp mechanism. Built from steel, this toolholder features a 0.5 inch square shank and an overall length of 4.5 inches, making it suitable for external turning operations on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. It is part of the Kennametal Kendex series and is engineered for positive rake cutting at a 0-degree rake angle, which supports controlled chip formation and consistent insert seating during metal removal operations. Machinists and toolroom professionals typically specify this holder for light-to-medium turning applications.

This toolholder is used in external turning operations on CNC and conventional lathes where a right-hand cutting direction and positive rake geometry are required. The clamp-style insert retention is well-suited for production environments where inserts are changed frequently. The 0.5 inch shank height and width allow it to fit standard 0.5 inch boring bar pockets and toolpost blocks. The back-of-bar to cutting edge measurement is 0.5 inches, providing a known offset reference for tool presetting. Coolant-through capability is not available on this model.
