This precision clamping component uses a 3\/8-24 threaded shank and a 9\/64 inch hex socket drive to hold negative-rake inserts firmly against the insert pocket, preventing rotation or lift during cutting operations. With an overall length of 0.95 inches and a 3\/4 inch inscribed circle (IC) rating, this pin is sized for standard toolholder configurations commonly found on CNC and manual lathes. Machinists and toolroom technicians install this type of component as part of routine insert indexing and toolholder maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis lock pin is suited for use in indexable turning toolholders that accept negative-style inserts with a center hole. It is appropriate for both CNC lathe applications and manual turning setups in production and job-shop environments. The 3\/8-24 thread is an industry-standard pitch for this class of toolholder hardware, making the NL-68L a common replacement item when original pins are lost, worn, or damaged during insert changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNegative lock pin design secures indexable inserts against rotation and axial lift in the insert pocket\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-24 threaded shank for secure engagement with toolholder body\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e9\/64 inch hex socket drive for precise torque application during tightening\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/4 inch inscribed circle rating matches standard negative-insert toolholder geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.95 inch overall length fits common turning toolholder configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIndustry standard number NL-68L for straightforward cross-referencing and reordering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement negative lock pin for indexable turning toolholders that accept 3\/4 inch IC negative-style inserts with a 3\/8-24 threaded pin bore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by machinists or toolroom personnel as part of insert indexing or toolholder maintenance. Before replacing the lock pin, ensure the machine is fully de-energized, the spindle is locked, and all cutting forces are relieved. Use a calibrated 9\/64 inch hex key to seat and tighten the pin; do not overtighten, as this can damage the insert or toolholder bore. Inspect the threaded bore in the toolholder for wear or contamination before installing a new pin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePin Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Negative Lock\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndustry Standard Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: NL-68L\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-24\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.95 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Inscribed Circle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHex Socket Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9\/64 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.03 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: NL-68L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51692677759282,"sku":"NL-68L","price":15.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a52b0e3cbb86bf3ee16fd0a9ea58e101.jpg?v=1788301034","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-nl-68l-negative-lock-pin-indexable-turning","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
