Kennametal 1197530 Indexable Cutoff Blade A2 Double End

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1197530 is a double-end neutral indexable cutoff blade designed for parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built to the A2BNSN blade style, it measures 26 mm high, 3.4 mm wide, and 110 mm in overall length, with a 4 mm insert seat size. The self-grip insert holding method locks inserts securely under cutting load without additional fasteners, reducing setup time. With a maximum depth of cut of 40 mm and a cutting height of 21.5 mm, this blade handles a broad range of workpiece diameters. It is installed and maintained by machinists and tool-room technicians working in production turning environments.

This blade is suited for parting, cutoff, and deep grooving applications on production and job-shop turning equipment. The double-end design allows the blade to be flipped when one end wears, extending the service life of the blade body. The neutral cutting direction makes it appropriate for standard right-hand turning setups. Compatible insert width is 4 mm, consistent with the A2 Cut-Off series insert family. Typical applications include bar-stock parting on horizontal and slant-bed CNC lathes in both light and medium-duty cutting conditions.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit blade for toolholders and blade-style cutoff systems accepting A2 Cut-Off series blades with a 4 mm insert seat size. Specific compatible model numbers were not provided in available product data; verify holder compatibility with the A2BNSN blade style before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist with the machine powered down, spindle locked, and all stored energy released before handling the toolholder. Ensure the blade is seated squarely and clamped to the toolholder manufacturer's specified torque before resuming cutting. Inspect the self-grip insert seat for chips or debris each time an insert is indexed or replaced. Follow the machine tool manufacturer's guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures when setting tool overhang and approach angles for cutoff operations.
