Fit these holders directly into a lathe tool post or appropriately sized holder without the need for a tool block. Pair with a square-nose carbide insert (sold separately) to make a cutoff and grooving tool or a round-nose insert to make a grooving and profiling tool. These holders have an opening at one end.

Install one of these holders into a tool block for right- and left-hand mounting in a lathe. Pair with a carbide insert (sold separately) to make the exact cutoff and grooving tool you need. These holders have an opening at each end.

Use an insert extractor (sold separately) to change out inserts in the holder.

Secure carbide inserts inside these holders for stable turning. They’re also known as indexable insert holders. Select a holder that’s compatible with your insert by matching the insert style and inscribed circle diameter (IC). Right-hand holders move from right to left toward the lathe chuck, left-hand holders move from left to right away from the lathe chuck, and neutral holders can cut in either direction.

M-code holders secure inserts with both a top clamp and a pin lock, so they’re often used for interrupted or semi-interrupted cuts to keep inserts stable despite vibration. They’re the most commonly used holders with negative-rake inserts.

S-code holders secure inserts with a screw for easy indexing. They’re the most commonly used holders with positive-rake inserts.

Holders with an offset shank are good for reaching into tight corners and when working close to the chuck.

Pair these holders with a threading insert or a grooving insert to make cuts on the outside of a workpiece. A highly-rigid clamping design results in a smoother finish and superior tool life. They are compatible with top-notch style threading and grooving systems.

Use a right-hand external holder with a right-hand insert when the workpiece is rotating counterclockwise (toward the lathe operator).

Use a left-hand external holder with a left-hand insert when the workpiece is rotating clockwise (away from the lathe operator).
