Kennametal 1096951 Indexable Turning Toolholder CTAPR163D

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1096951 is a right-hand indexable turning toolholder in the CTAPR163D style, designed for external turning operations on CNC and manual lathes. Part of the Kendex series, it uses a clamp holding method to secure TP..32. compatible inserts with a 3/8-inch inscribed circle. The shank measures 1 inch wide by 1 inch tall with an overall length of 6 inches, making it a compact and rigid choice for precision turning applications. The positive rake geometry and steel construction support consistent chip control and dimensional stability during moderate to heavy cutting passes. Machining professionals and tool-and-die shops rely on this holder for reliable insert indexing and repeatable tool positioning.

This toolholder is suited for turning centers and engine lathes where a 1 inch by 1 inch square shank is the standard mounting format. The CTAPR163D geometry positions the insert for right-hand cutting with a positive rake angle of 0 degrees, which is appropriate for a range of ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. The head length of 1.06 inches and a back-of-bar to cutting edge dimension of 1 inch allow predictable tool offset entry during setup. It is intended for use by machinists, CNC programmers, and production tooling specialists in both job shop and production environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with lathe tooling setup. Secure the shank fully in the tool block or turret pocket before operation and verify tool height alignment to centerline before taking a cut. Ensure the machine is powered down and spindle is locked before mounting or removing the toolholder. Follow the machine manufacturer and toolholder manufacturer torque guidelines for clamp screws when seating the insert.
