Kennametal 5980815 Grooving Cutoff Toolholder 2mm Right Hand

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 5980815 is an indexable grooving and cutoff toolholder in the Beyond Evolution series, designed for external grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It accepts the EG0200M02P02 insert and uses a clamp-style insert holding method for secure, repeatable seating. The toolholder is right-hand oriented and supports a fixed groove width of 2 mm with a maximum depth of cut of 16 mm (0.63 inches). The shank measures 5/8 x 5/8 inches (15.88 x 15.88 mm) with a shank length of 3.28 inches (83.3 mm). Overall length is 4.5 inches (114.3 mm). This toolholder is installed by machinists and CNC tooling technicians in precision turning applications.

The 5980815 is suited for external grooving and cutoff operations in production turning environments, including both job shop and high-volume manufacturing settings. Its EVSC-T style head geometry is sized at a mount size of 1010, with a head height of 0.901 inches (22.88 mm) and a head length of 1.22 inches (31 mm). The fixed 2 mm groove width makes it appropriate for applications requiring consistent, tight-tolerance groove profiles. No coolant-through capability is present on this holder.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. The machine spindle must be fully stopped and the machine powered down before changing inserts or mounting the toolholder. Verify shank seating and clamp torque against the machine tool manufacturer specifications before running. Inspect the insert seating pocket and clamp for wear or debris before each insert change to maintain positioning accuracy.
