Kennametal 2981102 Indexable Cutoff Toolholder Left Hand

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 2981102 is a left-hand indexable cutoff toolholder designed for parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It accepts A4..15.. series inserts secured by a screw-clamp holding method, providing rigid, repeatable insert positioning. The toolholder features a 13 x 13 mm (0.5118 x 0.5118 inch) square shank and delivers a maximum depth of cut of 0.532 inches with a maximum workpiece diameter of 1.063 inches. It is suited for machinists and toolroom operators working with small-diameter bar stock in production or job-shop turning environments.

This toolholder fits standard turning center turrets and gang-tool setups where a compact square shank is required. Its A4SC style head geometry is optimized for cutoff applications on small-diameter workpieces, making it a practical choice for high-volume parting operations on Swiss-type and conventional CNC lathes. The minimum insert width is 1.5 mm (0.0591 inches), keeping groove width tight for material-efficient cutoff work.
