Special Indexable Tool Holder
Indexable turning and profiling toolholders are used with lathes or CNC turning machines to size, shape, or add features such as grooves or contours to workpieces. They have a shank that mounts to the machine and a cutting head that holds an indexable insert.
Indexable carbide tooling is the third type of tooling for lathes. Indexable tooling uses steel tools, with a screw or clamp securing a carbide insert to the end of the tool. Indexable carbide tools and inserts are widely available, as they are almost unanimously used in CNC Turning.
