Kennametal 1097604 Indexable Threading Toolholder 1x1 in

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1097604 is an indexable threading toolholder from the Top Notch series, designed for both internal and external threading operations on metalworking lathes and turning centers. Built for right-hand cutting, it accepts N.6R inserts secured by a clamp-style insert holding method. The shank measures 1 inch wide by 1 inch tall, with an overall length of 6 inches and a head length of 1.38 inches. With a maximum depth of cut of 0.334 inches and a back-of-bar to cutting edge distance of 1.25 inches, this holder provides consistent, repeatable thread geometry in production and job shop environments. It is installed and serviced by machinists and tooling technicians.

The 1097604 is suited for threading operations on CNC and manual lathes where a 1 x 1 inch square shank toolholder is required. Its internal and external thread capability makes it a versatile addition to turning tool setups handling a range of thread forms. The Top Notch series is a well-established platform for indexable threading tooling, and this holder is appropriate for both low-volume job work and higher-volume production runs where insert indexability reduces downtime.
