Horn Cutting Tools offers Boehlerit turning toolholders having connections for internal coolant supply

​Ringwood-based Horn Cutting Tools is to offer Boehlerit's new turning toolholders that have connections for internal coolant supply. They are available from stock with toggle clamp (ISO-P) and screw clamp (ISO-S) systems, allowing manufacturers to benefit from the productivity advantages of cooling directly at the cutting edge.

The P variety is suitable for all ISO indexable inserts. There are no loose parts and only a few spares are required, making them easy to handle. Inserts can be clamped quickly and securely and released easily. Chip flow is smooth, as there are no obstructions.

The S toolholders also enable the insert to be secured simply and safely, in this case using a cone-shaped positioning screw. Here too, chip flow is not compromised and a maximum of three spare parts is needed. In both cases, coolant is supplied as standard at the back of the shank end; optionally from below the head.

This move follows the joint cooperation between Horn, Germany, and Boehlerit, Austria, that sees each company sell the other's tooling.
