Kennametal 6179733 Grooving Cutoff Toolholder Left Hand

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 6179733 is an indexable grooving and cutoff toolholder designed for external grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It features a left-hand orientation and accepts EG0200M02P02 inserts secured by a clamp-style holding method. The toolholder operates within the Beyond Evolution series and supports a fixed groove width of 2 mm with a maximum depth of cut of 10 mm. A through-coolant channel delivers cutting fluid directly to the insert tip, supporting chip evacuation and thermal control during interrupted or continuous grooving passes. The 0.5-inch square shank fits standard toolpost and turret stations common in production turning environments. Licensed machinists and CNC operators are the primary installers of this toolholder.

This toolholder is suited for external grooving and parting applications on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces in both job shop and production settings. The EVSC-style toolholder geometry and clamp insert retention make it appropriate for moderate to high-feed grooving where insert security and repeatability are priorities. The through-coolant feature makes it a practical choice for deep grooving passes where flood coolant alone may not reach the cutting zone effectively. The overall length of 5 inches and compact head dimensions support use in tight turret configurations where clearance is a factor.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified CNC machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before mounting or removing the toolholder from the turret. Verify shank seating depth and torque the toolholder clamp fasteners according to the machine tool manufacturer specifications. Confirm through-coolant port alignment with the machine turret coolant supply before initiating a cutting cycle.
