Walter 5097517 Dcln Indexable Turning Toolholder 1x1 Shank

Product Description

The WALTER 5097517 is a right-hand DCLN-style indexable turning toolholder built for negative rake external turning operations. Designed for use in the Walter Turn series, it accepts CN 43 and CN1204 insert families and secures them via a top-clamp holding method. The shank measures 1 inch wide by 1 inch tall, with an overall length of 6 inches. A 95-degree lead angle and a rake angle of -6 degrees are standard geometry for this configuration. Licensed machinists and CNC lathe operators install this holder in rigid turning setups requiring repeatable insert indexing and reliable cutting geometry.

This toolholder is suited for external turning applications on CNC lathes and manual engine lathes in both production and job-shop environments. The right-hand cutting direction and negative rake geometry make it well-matched to machining harder steels, cast irons, and other materials that benefit from the added edge strength of negative-rake inserts. It is not configured for coolant-through delivery and is intended as a single-application turning tool rather than a multi-use platform.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before mounting or removing the toolholder from any tool post or turret. Secure the shank fully within the tool post or turret pocket to the recommended engagement depth before operation. Follow machine-tool manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures when setting tool height and indexing inserts.
