It uses a clamp-style insert holding method to secure indexable grooving inserts firmly during cutting. The shank measures 1.0000 inches in height and 4.2600 inches in length, with an overall length of 5.5 inches and a center-to-cutting-edge dimension of 0.5600 inches. This toolholder belongs to the A3 series and is built for precision grooving, parting, and related turning operations in production and job-shop environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis toolholder is suited for external grooving applications on metal lathes and turning centers in both production and repair shop settings. The left-hand orientation makes it appropriate for operations requiring a specific approach direction or machine configuration. It is typically installed and set up by machinists, toolroom technicians, or CNC programmers working in metalworking and machining environments where accurate groove geometry is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeft-hand holder orientation for directional grooving operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKGMS toolholder style with clamp-style insert retention for secure cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShank height of 1.0000 inches and shank length of 4.2600 inches for standard lathe toolpost fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall length of 5.5 inches with a center-to-cutting-edge distance of 0.5600 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA3 series construction for compatibility with corresponding KENNAMETAL indexable grooving inserts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoolant-through feature not included; suitable for standard coolant delivery setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit toolholder for CNC turning centers and manual lathes accepting KGMS-style left-hand grooving toolholders with a 1.0000-inch shank height.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before mounting or adjusting the toolholder. Seat the shank securely in the toolpost or turret and verify the center-to-cutting-edge height against the machine centerline before beginning any cut. Always inspect the clamping mechanism and insert seating before operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHand of Holder\u003c\/strong\u003e: Left Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eToolholder Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: KGMS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: A3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Holding Method\u003c\/strong\u003e: Clamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.0000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.2600 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCenter to Cutting Edge\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5600 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5999 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: KENNAMETAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1600246\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KENNAMETAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51737044615474,"sku":"1600246","price":252.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/7741e4d2c288a6157dc7d04f788efe49.jpg?v=1788783565","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/kennametal-1600246-indexable-grooving-toolholder-left-hand","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
