Pair these holders with precision carbide inserts to cut fine details and shape small parts. Designed for use in precision lathes, also called Swiss lathes, they fit directly into a tool holder or post—no tool block needed. All are S-code holders, which means the insert is secured with a screw. They’re the most common holder used with positive-rake inserts. Also known as indexable insert holders.

Choose a holder that matches the insert style and inscribed circle diameter (IC) of your insert. 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. Neutral holders can cut in either direction.
