Kennametal 1097513 Indexable Profiling Toolholder Top Notch

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1097513 is an external indexable profiling toolholder designed for precision turning and profiling operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built to the Top Notch series standard, this right-hand holder features a negative rake geometry with a -5 degree lead angle and a NKLN toolholder style. The 1 x 1 inch square steel shank and 5 inch overall length make it a compact, rigid platform for interrupted and continuous cuts. It accepts NP-series inserts secured by a clamp-style insert holding method, making insert changes fast and repeatable in production environments. HVAC and plumbing applications are not applicable; this is a precision cutting tool for machining professionals.

This toolholder is suited for external profiling and turning operations in job shops, production machining cells, and tool rooms. The Top Notch series is a well-established platform for profile turning applications where consistent insert indexing and secure clamping are critical. The steel construction provides rigidity for use on ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. Compatible insert size code is NP, and the full compatible insert designation from the input is NPR.. 132. The MSC and manufacturer cross-reference number is NKLNR/L161C, which is useful for procurement and toolcrib reference.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists and tool crib technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the turret is indexed to a safe position before mounting or removing the toolholder. Secure the shank in the toolpost or turret to the machine manufacturer torque specification for the holder size. Confirm insert seating and clamp engagement before taking a trial cut.
