Kennametal KTN97710H Threading Toolholder Right Hand

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL KTN97710H is a right-hand indexable threading toolholder built for precision external threading operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Part of the Top Notch series, it features a 1.0 inch shank diameter and a 12 inch overall length with a center-to-cutting-edge distance of 0.688 inches. Constructed from steel, the holder uses a clamp-style insert holding method and accepts N.3L inserts. The A16NER3 toolholder style and integrated coolant-through capability make this holder well-suited for demanding threading applications where chip control and tool life are priorities.

This toolholder is designed for threading applications on production turning equipment where consistent insert indexing and rigid clamping are required. The coolant-through design delivers cutting fluid directly to the insert tip, supporting higher cutting speeds and extended tool life in ferrous and non-ferrous threading work. It is intended for use by machinists and tooling specialists in precision machining environments, including job shops and production facilities requiring repeatable thread form accuracy.
