Short-Length External Turning Holders for Optimized Machine Compatibility
Tungaloy Corporation has expanded its Turning A line with a short-length series of Type A holders designed to prevent machine interference.

Standard external turning holders often require manual shortening to avoid interference with machine tool rests, turrets, fixtures, or workpieces. Traditionally, operators have had to cut the rear end of holders themselves or request pre-cut deliveries from suppliers. These modification processes increase labor requirements, raise costs for grinding consumables, and generate additional material waste.
The addition of short-length holders allows users to address interference issues directly without the need for secondary tool modifications.
Technical Specifications and Design Features
The Turning A series utilizes a robust double-clamp structure designed for diverse external turning applications, ranging from high-load roughing to precision finishing. Key technical features of the new series include:
- Short-Length Architecture: Available in lengths of 100 mm and 110 mm, which are 25 to 50 mm shorter than conventional models.
- Shank Specifications: Offered in 20×20 mm and 25×25 mm sizes to accommodate various machine mounting requirements.
- High-Strength Clamping: A proprietary single-screw clamping mechanism simultaneously pulls the insert inward and secures it, ensuring high clamping stability.
Operational Efficiency and Setup Benefits
The ready-to-install design provides several advantages for machining workflows:
The ready-to-install design provides several advantages for machining workflows:
- Reduced Setup Time: Holders can be installed immediately out of the box without cutting or grinding.
- Increased Machine Uptime: Simplified setup changes lead to higher operational efficiency.
- Versatility: The expanded range covers multiple insert shapes and machine mounting specifications.
