Kennametal 1097609 Indexable Threading Toolholder

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1097609 is an external, right-hand indexable threading toolholder from the Top Notch series, designed for threading and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. The toolholder accepts N.2R inserts secured by a clamp-style insert holding method. The square shank measures 0.625 x 0.625 inches (5/8 inch) with an overall length of 4.5 inches. A head length of 0.75 inches and a maximum depth of cut of 0.138 inches make this holder well suited for precision external thread-cutting applications. It is installed and operated by machinists and CNC turning specialists working in production and job shop environments.

This toolholder is used in external threading and grooving applications on turning machines where consistent insert indexing and rigid clamping are required. The Top Notch series is a recognized system for indexable grooving and threading toolholders. The MSC and manufacturer cross-reference number for this holder is NSR/L102B. It is appropriate for both production runs and short-run precision threading where repeatability and secure insert retention are priorities. Coolant-through capability is not included on this toolholder.
