Kennametal 2265206 Modular Lathe Shank KM25 Left Hand

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 2265206 is a modular lathe shank designed for left-hand cutting operations in CNC turning applications. Built on the KM25 connection platform, this shank interfaces with KM25-compatible tooling systems to deliver precise, repeatable positioning for turning inserts and modular tool heads. The shank measures 1 inch square by 1 inch in length, with an overall assembly length of 4.819 inches. Weighing 1.358 pounds, this unit belongs to the LCM Square Shank series and is intended for installation by machinists and toolroom technicians working with modular turning setups.

This modular lathe shank is suited for left-hand turning operations on CNC lathes and turning centers equipped with KM25 tooling interfaces. The square shank profile seats securely in compatible tool blocks and turret stations. Through-coolant is not supported by this shank, making it appropriate for dry cutting or external coolant delivery setups. The LCM Square Shank series is commonly used in production turning environments where quick-change modular tooling is required for consistent tool offsets and reduced changeover time.

Key Features

• Left-hand cutting direction for dedicated left-hand turning operations
• KM25 connection size for compatibility with KM25 modular tooling systems
• 1 inch by 1 inch square shank profile for secure, precise seating in turret blocks
• 4.819 inch overall length provides reach and clearance in standard turning setups
• No through-coolant — suited for external coolant or dry cutting applications
• Part of the LCM Square Shank series for consistent modular integration

Compatibility

Designed for use with KM25-compatible modular tooling systems and turning centers that accept a 1 inch square shank connection in left-hand cutting orientation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the machine before mounting or removing the shank from the turret or tool block. Verify that the KM25 interface and mating surfaces are clean and free of chips or debris before seating the shank. Consult the machine tool manufacturer's documentation for proper clamping torque and turret station specifications.
