Kennametal 1152606 Indexable Boring Bar Right Hand Solid Carbide

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1152606 is a solid carbide indexable boring bar designed for precision internal turning operations on CNC lathes and machining centers. Built to the E-NE toolholder style in the Top Notch series, it accepts N-style inserts held by a clamp-style insert retention method. The bar features a 5/8-inch shank diameter, a 1-inch minimum bore diameter, and a 10-inch overall length, making it suited for deep-reach internal boring applications. A 3-degree lead angle and right-hand cut orientation define the cutting geometry. Coolant-through capability via a 0.22-inch coolant hole supports chip evacuation and thermal management during continuous cuts.

This boring bar is intended for professional machinists working in production turning environments where consistent bore quality and tool rigidity are required. The solid carbide construction provides stiffness and vibration resistance in applications where steel shanks would deflect. It is appropriate for use in ferrous and non-ferrous internal turning operations on horizontal and vertical turning centers. The right-hand cut orientation suits standard spindle rotation in the majority of CNC lathe setups.

Key Features

• Solid carbide shank for high rigidity and reduced vibration in deep-reach boring
• Coolant-through design with 0.22-inch coolant hole for chip flushing and heat control
• Clamp-style insert retention compatible with N-style Top Notch inserts
• 1-inch minimum bore diameter with 10-inch overall length for extended reach
• 3-degree lead angle, right-hand cut geometry for standard CNC lathe orientation
• Center-to-cutting-edge distance of 0.5 inches for precise tool offset setup

Compatibility

Designed for use with N-style inserts in the KENNAMETAL Top Notch series. Insert holding method is clamp-style. Confirm insert geometry and grade selection against the workpiece material and cutting parameters before use.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the toolholder is secured in a rigid block or turret before setting tool offset. Verify coolant-through connections are properly seated and pressurized before initiating a cut. Do not exceed the tool manufacturer's recommended depth-of-cut or feed rate for the selected insert grade.
