Kennametal 3015438 Cutoff Tool Block A2TEN 32mm

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 3015438 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, it accepts blades with a 32mm compatible blade height, providing a stable, rigid platform for insert-style cutoff tooling. The block features a 1.5-inch square shank (38.10mm x 38.10mm) and measures 110mm in overall length with a 57.10mm overall height. The reversible design allows mounting flexibility to suit different machine setups and workholding configurations. Installation is handled by machinists and CNC toolroom technicians.

This tool block is suited for use on manual engine lathes and CNC turning centers where A2 series cutoff blades are the specified tooling system. The neutral insert cutting direction makes it appropriate for straight parting operations. The reversible feature extends usability across varied turret or tool post configurations without requiring additional toolholders. No through-coolant port is included in this holder, so external coolant application should be planned accordingly.
