Kennametal 2981194 Indexable Cutoff Toolholder Right Hand

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 2981194 is a right-hand indexable cutoff toolholder designed for parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built to the A4SC toolholder style, it accepts A4C0155.. series inserts secured by a screw-clamp insert holding method for reliable, repeatable edge location. The holder delivers a maximum depth of cut of 0.532 inches and accommodates a maximum workpiece diameter of 1.063 inches. The 19 x 19 mm square shank fits standard OD turning tool blocks and quick-change turrets common in production turning environments. Licensed machinists and CNC operators working in job shop and high-volume production settings are the primary installers.

This toolholder is suited for light-duty cutoff and grooving work on small-diameter bar stock and turned components. The compact head geometry - 0.9449 inches in height and 0.9843 inches in length - keeps the cutting edge close to the workpiece centerline and reduces overhang in tight turret configurations. The 1.5 mm minimum insert width (0.0591 inches) makes it well matched to narrow-groove applications where material conservation and tight part tolerances matter. It is a practical choice for high-cycle production runs on lathes equipped with 19 mm tooling stations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Power down and lock out the machine before mounting or removing the toolholder from the turret. Ensure the shank seating surfaces are clean and free of chips before clamping. Confirm insert orientation and cutting-edge height to centerline after mounting before taking the first cut.
