I am looking for an 8 x 8 mm indexable holder for use with external threading inserts.

The tooling is for an ML10 fitted with a Myford QCTP. Unfortunately this restricts the tooling to 8 x 8 mm shanks.

The only one I can find is from RDG, after looking at the usual suspects. RDG do not state the type of insert that this holder uses. I have been told that it is an uncommon type and one is stuck with the RDG offering.

I have no idea if this is true or not. Other types of 8 x 8 mm holders can be had, but are for commercial use and command prices which I cannot afford.

Anyone know of other offerings that are not hugely expensive and take common threading inserts?

Andrew.

Most insert toolholders are machinable. I would think getting one that was too thick to fit your toolholder and machining it down to 8mm would work. You only need to machine it where it is to be gripped in the tool holder.

Thanks Martin,

Not thinking straight this afternoon. I can get a 10 x 10 mm holder from Jenny Blackwell. Problem solved!

Just remember to machine it on the correct side to make sure your centre height is achievable.
