Kennametal 5980818 Grooving Cutoff Toolholder Right Hand

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 5980818 is an indexable grooving and cutoff toolholder in the Beyond Evolution series, designed for external grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It features a right-hand orientation and accepts EG0200M02P02 inserts, held in place by a clamp-style insert holding method. The toolholder handles a fixed groove width of 2 mm and a maximum depth of cut of 16 mm (0.63 inches). The shank measures 3/4 inch by 3/4 inch (19.05 mm square), providing a rigid, low-profile mount suitable for tight clearance applications. Machinists and CNC setup technicians are the primary users of this toolholder in production turning environments.

This toolholder is suited for external grooving and cutoff work in both light and medium-duty turning applications. The EVSC-T style and Beyond Evolution series design target shops running repeatable, high-volume OD grooving cycles. The clamp-style insert retention keeps indexing fast and consistent. Applications include groove turning on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces where tight groove-width tolerance and controlled depth are required. The 3/4-inch square shank fits standard OD turning tool stations on manual and CNC lathes without adapter sleeves in most configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC setup technicians. Before inserting or indexing, power down the machine and lock out the spindle per shop lockout/tagout procedures. Seat the shank fully in the tool block and torque the clamping screws according to the machine tool manufacturer specifications for 3/4-inch square shank holders. Inspect the insert seat and clamp contact surfaces for chips or debris before seating a new EG0200M02P02 insert to ensure proper clamping force and repeatability.
