Lathe Turning Tool Holder KF12R100 12mm×12mm Parting Groove Insert 1mm

Description

Product Overview

The KF12R100 lathe turning tool holder is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern machining environments. Constructed from high‑grade tool steel, the holder undergoes a rigorous vacuum heat‑treatment process that significantly improves its hardness and resistance to deformation under heavy cutting loads. The exterior surface is coated with a nickel‑plated finish, providing an additional layer of protection against corrosion and wear, while also contributing to a smoother interaction with the spindle and reducing friction during high‑speed operations.

At the heart of the assembly lies a 12mm×12mm indexable carbide insert, designated KF12R100, which features a razor‑sharp 1mm cutting edge. This carbide insert is produced using precision CNC grinding techniques, ensuring uniform geometry and consistent edge retention across the entire batch. The insert’s surface receives a specialized coating that enhances its wear resistance and reduces the tendency for built‑up edge formation, extending tool life and maintaining cutting performance over prolonged use.

Designed for vertical single‑hole fixed mounting, the holder provides a secure and repeatable positioning of the insert, guaranteeing optimal chip evacuation and stable cutting conditions. The compact dimensions of the holder—12mm by 12mm—allow it to be employed in tight spaces where larger tooling would be impractical, making it an ideal solution for external small‑part slotting, parting, and cut‑off applications.

Usage

This tool holder excels in a variety of machining scenarios. Whether you are working on high‑strength steel alloys, corrosion‑resistant stainless steel, conductive copper, or lightweight aluminum, the KF12R100 delivers reliable performance. Its 1mm cutting width enables fine, precise material removal, which is essential for creating narrow slots, intricate parting lines, and clean cut‑offs in components ranging from automotive parts to precision instrumentation.

Operators will appreciate the ease of insert change; the indexable design allows for rapid swapping of worn inserts without the need for extensive tool re‑setup. This reduces downtime and improves overall shop efficiency. The holder’s robust construction also means it can withstand the high feed rates and cutting speeds typical of production environments, while still maintaining the accuracy required for prototype and low‑volume runs.

In addition to its primary applications, the holder can be integrated into automated CNC turning centers, where its repeatable positioning and durability contribute to consistent cycle times and reduced tool wear. The nickel‑plated surface also helps to minimize heat buildup during extended machining cycles, protecting both the tool and the workpiece from thermal distortion.

FAQ

What materials can I machine with this tool holder?

The KF12R100 is suitable for machining steel, stainless steel, copper, aluminum, and other common engineering alloys. Its carbide insert and robust holder design handle both hard and soft materials effectively.

How do I replace the carbide insert?

To replace the insert, loosen the mounting screw, remove the worn insert, align the new KF12R100‑S insert in the holder’s indexed slot, and retighten the screw to the specified torque. The process takes only a few minutes and requires no special tools.

Is the holder compatible with standard CNC lathes?

Yes, the holder is designed for universal compatibility with most CNC turning centers that accept 12mm×12mm tool holders. Its compact size and standard mounting configuration make it easy to integrate into existing tool magazines.

What is the recommended cutting speed for this insert?

For most steel alloys, a cutting speed of 150–200 m/min is recommended. Adjust the speed based on the specific material and desired finish; softer metals like aluminum may allow higher speeds, while harder steels may require lower speeds to prevent excessive wear.

Do you offer any warranty on this product?

Yes, the KF12R100 comes with a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. If you experience any issues related to material or workmanship, contact our support team for a replacement or repair.
