Kennametal 6180143 Grooving Cutoff Toolholder Right Hand

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 6180143 is an indexable grooving and cutoff toolholder designed for external grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built to the EVSC toolholder style, it accepts EG0140M1BP02 inserts secured by a clamp-style insert holding method. The toolholder supports a groove width of 1.40 mm and a maximum depth of cut of 16 mm, making it well suited for narrow, precise groove profiles. Through-coolant capability delivers cutting fluid directly to the insert tip, extending tool life and improving chip evacuation during continuous or interrupted grooving cuts. Machining professionals and CNC setup techs will find this holder reliable for high-productivity external grooving applications.

The 6180143 is intended for external grooving and cutoff operations in production turning environments, both job shop and high-volume manufacturing. It is a right-hand configuration holder, appropriate for standard lathe setups where the tool post is oriented to cut toward the chuck. The 3/4 inch square shank fits a wide range of standard OD turning toolholders and turret pockets commonly found on mid-size CNC lathes. The Beyond Evolution series designation indicates compatibility within KENNAMETAL's Beyond Evolution tooling system platform.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified CNC machinist or tooling technician. Shut down spindle rotation and confirm the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before mounting or removing the toolholder from the turret. Ensure the shank bore and mating surfaces are clean and free of chips before seating the holder, and verify through-coolant ports are clear and aligned with machine coolant supply passages. Torque all clamping hardware according to machine and toolholder manufacturer guidelines using calibrated tooling.
