SHORT Version (Standard / Compact):
Definition: A tool holder with a standard compact length, typically around 100 mm to 125 mm long overall.
Purpose: Best for standard CNC lathe turrets where space is tight. It minimizes tool overhang, providing maximum rigidity and reducing vibration (chatter) during the cut.
Tungsten Carbide Inserts
LONG Version (Extended Reach):
Definition: A tool holder with an elongated shank, typically 150 mm or longer overall.
Purpose: Used when the tool needs to extend further past the turret to reach deep parts without the machine turret colliding with the chuck or workpiece.
