Kennametal EVSMR160326C B6BN Beyond Evolution Grooving Toolholder

The Kennametal EVSMR160326C B6BN is a Beyond Evolution series external grooving and parting toolholder designed for indexable carbide inserts, manufactured in India and sold here in new — other condition (uninscribed/unissued, may lack original retail packaging). Decoding the MPN: "E" = external clamping style, "VS" = V-style (top-clamp) insert pocket, "M" = metric shank, "R" = right-hand cutting direction, "160326" encodes the shank height × width (16 mm × 16 mm) and insert size parameters, "C" = coolant-through capability — confirmed by the photo showing 1/8"-27 NPT and 3/16" coolant ports on the body rated to MAX 350 bar (5,076 psi). The "B6BN" suffix identifies the compatible insert family/geometry for grooving operations. The body carries stamped torque specs: clamp screw MS-1595 at 12 Nm / 106 lbf·in, and coolant fitting HSFS0125 (1/8"-27 NPT) at 22 Nm / 195 lbf·in; the wrench size for the coolant fitting is KT-30. This toolholder accepts VS/B6 series grooving inserts and is suited for OD grooving, parting, and profiling operations on CNC lathes and turning centers where high-pressure through-coolant delivery is required.
