Family Overview

A family of vertical inserts and tool holders, designed for long threads – or applications that require an over-hang. They can be used for threading, chamfering, grooving, boring, profiling, and back turning applications. All tools include through-coolant, enabling the cooling fluid to reach the cutting edge efficiently.

Features:

  • Supports diameters starting from 8.0 mm (for some tools)
  • Quick indexing
  • Most profiles of Tiny Tools bars are available

This family includes the following product lines:
