Paul Horn GmbH offers users its Supermini toolholder system with face clamping as a set. With the Supermini holder variant, clamping is not carried out via the lateral surface of the cutting insert but rather via a clamping wedge on the face. This is said to result in a greater holding force on the insert and thus high rigidity of the entire system.
Also, this style of clamping is said to increase repeatability when changing the insert and provide better utilization of the available space. This is said to be a great advantage on Swiss-type lathes, as the user can change the cutting insert without removing the toolholder.
The set consists of a round shank holder and three different clamping elements. The latter are suitable for the three different insert heights of the Supermini system, 03, 04 and 05. A customer can select the desired diameter of the round shank holder when ordering. Horn offers it in the diameters 10 mm, 12 mm, 16 mm, 20 mm, 22 mm, 25 mm and 28 mm. Inch dimensions are available in 1/2", 5/8", 3/4" and 1" diameters.
