Tungaloy Corporation has expanded its “Turning A” line with the introduction of a short-length series of Type A holders for external turning. These holders feature a reduced overall length compared to conventional models, helping avoid interference with machine specifications, fixtures, or workpieces.
Traditionally, users often cut the rear end of external turning holders to achieve the required length, either in-house or through suppliers. This process adds labor, increases consumable costs such as grinding wheels, and generates material waste.
The “Turning A” series is a line of tools for external turning featuring a robust double-clamp structure. Its unique clamping mechanism securely holds the insert in place, delivering outstanding performance across all machining operations—from high-load roughing to precision finishing. The series also boasts a wide range of items compatible with various insert shapes, covering a diverse array of external turning applications. With the addition of a short-length type to the “Turning A” series, users can now address situations where interference occurs with workpieces or fixtures without the need for unnecessary operation of shortening tools.
