LCTH Tap Holder Compensates for Misalignment
TM Smith Tool’s LCTH general-purpose compensating tap holder has tension and/or compression for non-synchronous machines, and radial float to compensate for misalignment between the workpiece and spindle.
Available in series 1 and 2, these tap holders also feature quick-change design for convenience and speed. There are five different tension and compression combinations available including full tension, which gives a solid start for accurate thread depth.
These toolholders can also be used in an end mill holder, collet chuck or lathe tool block.
