Kennametal 1097042 Indexable Turning Toolholder

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1097042 is a right-hand indexable turning toolholder in the CTGPR164D style, designed for precision external turning operations on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. Built on the Kendex series platform, it features a 1 x 1 inch square steel shank and an overall length of 6 inches. The clamp-style insert holding method secures TP.. 432 series inserts with a positive rake angle of 0 degrees, providing consistent cutting geometry and reliable insert retention during high-throughput turning applications. This toolholder is installed by machinists and CNC operators working in production and job-shop environments.

This toolholder is suited for external turning on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces in both production and job-shop settings. It accepts inserts with a 1/2 inch inscribed circle and is compatible with TP.. 432 series inserts. The right-hand orientation accommodates standard left-to-right feed directions common in most turning center setups. Coolant-through capability is not supported on this model, so external coolant delivery should be used when machining heat-sensitive materials.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before mounting or removing the toolholder from the turret or tool post. Ensure the shank seating surfaces are clean and free of chips before clamping. Follow the machine tool manufacturer's torque specifications for turret clamping screws, and verify tool centerline height after mounting.
