Kennametal tool holder Catalog

Next, there are two ways to select tooling: purchasing a universal set of holders if you work in a general job shop or selecting tooling for a specific technology, i.e., a part or group of parts.

Techniks Tool holder Catalog

Structurally identical to radial tool holders, except that the tool is positioned parallel to the axis of the spindle rotation (axially). Mainly used for holding tools for face grooving. They can also be used for external and internal turning.

Used for mounting lathe static tools, mainly drills with a Morse taper shank. The hole in the holder matches the Morse taper standard. There are Morse taper holders with side windows for access to the clamping screws of the adapter.

Pioneer tool holders

Used for mounting round shank boring bars for inside diameter (ID) machining. The bar is positioned against the face of the workpiece. Usually they have three clamping screws because the tool often needs to be clamped along a longer length. Typically, two nozzles for coolant supply are located externally.

This method simplifies the selection of tooling to some extent. After receiving the process map from the technologist, you only need to ensure that each cutting tool has the corresponding holder. An important aspect of this selection is the correct placement of tools in the lathe turret. For example, a long boring bar might interfere with OD turning, so these types of holders are better positioned in opposite locations in the turret, and so on.

Used for mounting drills in a classic jaw chuck. When the tail part rotates, the screw moves axially, giving the chuck jaws radial-axial movement. The jaws slide within the body and along the collar, securing or releasing the tool from the clamping force.

Used for mounting flat parting blades. They replicate the design of radial tool holders, except for the square cross-section. The slot and clamping plate form a "dovetail" type mount.

Used for mounting taps and provide compression and tension compensation. A reliable mechanism compensates for possible misalignment between spindle rotation speed and feed movement (especially important during reverse).

Lyndex Tool Holders

Keep monitoring suppliers newsletters to get latest holders and please always remember, if this is not your first CNC machine, first check your existing stock of tool holders. It is quite common for shops to purchase new tool holders that they already have. This will save you money and make your operations more sustainable.

CNC tool holder is classified by the type of machining and/or the type of tool to be mounted in the fixture and size. The main types include:

CAT 40 Tool holders

The cutting process in a lathe is carried out by rotating the workpiece in the spindle and feeding the lathe carriage, in which the cutting tool is securely fixed. In most modern lathes, all types of tools like cutters, drills, and taps are mounted through tool holders, which in turn are mounted in the turret. You can read about the types of turrets in our article on this article.

The most common type of holders for mounting tools with a square shank for machining the outer diameter of the workpiece. The tool in such holders is positioned perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the part (radially). The holder design always includes a slot for the tool and a clamping plate for fixation.

Techniks tool holders

Used in lathes for mounting small diameter drills and taps. Collet chucks typically range from ER16 to ER32 standards. The precision of tool clamping and positioning highly depends on the runout of the collets used.

If you are unsure what orders you will receive tomorrow, simply choose the most common holders from lates catalogue. For example, if your CNC lathe has 10 positions for BMT65 holders, we recommend starting with the following:

Used for mounting indexable drill bodies incl. U drills with interchangeable inserts or heads. They usually have two screws in a row and an additional positioning screw another side. Designed for shanks with a large flat and internal coolant supply through the drill. This one can universal and also hold boring bars.
