Kennametal 1908834 Dsdn Indexable Turning Toolholder

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 1908834 is a neutral-hand DSDN-style indexable turning toolholder designed for negative rake machining operations on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. It features a 1 inch x 1 inch square shank and an overall length of 6 inches, providing a rigid, repeatable platform for external turning. The toolholder uses a clamp-style insert holding method and accepts SN..43. series inserts with a 0.5 inch inscribed circle. It is manufactured from steel and belongs to the Kennametal Kenclamp series, making it a reliable choice for production turning environments where insert indexing speed and tool stability matter.

This toolholder is suited for external turning applications in both high-volume production and job-shop settings. The neutral hand orientation allows it to be used in either left- or right-hand cutting directions depending on setup. The negative rake angle of -7 degrees is well matched to harder workpiece materials and interrupted cuts where insert edge strength is a priority. A head length of 1.44 inches and a back-of-bar to cutting edge distance of 0.5 inches allow for precise tool height setup at centerline. Coolant-through capability is not provided on this model.
