Straight Insert Tool Holder, 55 insert 2262

This holder is not offset to either side, and it comes with a 55�� carbide insert, hold-down screw and special Torx key. The 3/8�� square shank is held in a 3/8�� tool post. The straight tip tool can be used as a general turning tool, cutting either right or left. The tip of the cutting tool is .375�� from the bottom of the holder, which is the industry standard. The holders are made from case hardened steel with a black oxide finish.Though relatively expensive, if a cutting edge becomes dull or chipped, the insert can be removed and rotated 180�� to expose two new cutting surfaces, providing, in effect, two tools for the price of one.
