Kennametal 3015436 Cutoff Tool Block A2TEN 32mm

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 3015436 is a Style A2TEN indexable cutoff blade tool block designed for parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built for the A2 Cut-Off series, this tool block accepts blades with a compatible blade height of 32 millimeters (1.2598 inches) and features a neutral insert cutting direction for versatile setup configurations. The shank measures 0.750 inches in both height and width, fitting standard square-shank tool holders. At 110 millimeters (4.33 inches) overall length and 48 millimeters (1.89 inches) overall height, the block offers a rigid, compact profile suited to precision cutoff work. Installation and setup are handled by qualified machinists and CNC tooling technicians.

The 3015436 tool block is intended for use in production turning environments where consistent, repeatable cutoff performance is required. Its reversible design allows the block to be repositioned to accommodate different workpiece configurations or extend tool life by utilizing both orientations. The A2TEN style fits within the KENNAMETAL A2 Cut-Off system, making it a direct-fit component for shops already running compatible A2-series blades and inserts. Typical applications include bar stock parting, shoulder grooving, and face grooving on ferrous and non-ferrous materials in both job shop and high-volume production settings.
