The GenBore ID Triple Toolholder adds three ID tool stations in place of a standard OD turning position on most Swiss-type CNC machines. Toolholder work can be expanded to include spotting, boring or drilling, all from one position for more cost-effective machining of complex parts. The toolholder features easy integration of high pressure coolant delivery systems and can be configured for through-coolant delivery through one, two or all three tool positions.
The toolholder includes three ER11 5/8" shank collet sleeves, a removable location screw to reposition the holder on the gang plate, and set screws on both sides of the holder to suit RH & LH machine layouts. The ½" shank includes shim-plate for machines using 5/8" shank tooling. When required, the toolholder can be easily removed, returning to a standard OD turning position to suit specific machining requirements.
