New CAMFIX and Square Turning Holders with Indexable Cartridges

Preventing tool breakage during machining is a significant challenge, leading to tool holder failures and costly replacements. Iscar's CER-M-TURN system addresses this by allowing the replacement of only the affected cartridge when an insert breaks, rather than the entire tool holder. This cost-effective solution ensures compatibility with various cartridges.nnThe system features four coolant inlets: two on the upper jaw and two on the lower jaw, directing coolant precisely to the cutting edge. An enhanced clamping mechanism also helps prevent the rotation or breakage of brittle ceramic, CBN, or PCD inserts, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.
