The insert seat has a large contact area to direct the cutting pressure efficiently into the holder and the central clamping screw enables maximal tightening of the insert for vibration-free, accurate machining. These properties make the system ideal for counteracting the high forces generated during hard turning. The holder range is available in monoblock design and as a cartridge system for HSK-T and PSC connections.
