Kennametal 1097242 Threading Toolholder 1x1 Inch Lh

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1097242 is a Top Notch series indexable threading toolholder designed for both internal and external threading and grooving operations. Built with a left-hand orientation, it accepts N.4R inserts secured by a clamp-style holding method. The shank measures 1 inch wide by 1 inch tall, and the toolholder runs 6 inches in overall length with a head length of 0.75 inches. Rated for a maximum depth of cut of 0.294 inches, it suits precision threading work in production and job-shop environments. Licensed machinists and CNC tool-setup technicians are the primary users of this toolholder.

The 1097242 is suited for lathe and turning-center applications where both threading and grooving passes are performed in a single setup. Its multi-use capability allows operators to handle external thread profiles and internal thread profiles without changing the toolholder body. The Toolholder Style NE geometry and the back-of-bar to cutting-edge distance of 1.375 inches provide the clearance needed for typical threading depths encountered in standard production turning. This toolholder fits horizontal and vertical turning applications wherever a 1-inch square shank is accommodated.
