The Sherline Quick-Change 3/8″ Square Shank Tool Holder is an optional accessory designed to enhance the functionality of the quick-change tool post system. It allows users to utilize the superior cutting capabilities and cost-effectiveness of carbide cutting tools or other tools available in the larger 3/8″ shank size. Unlike a simple modification of a smaller holder, this tool holder is crafted from a larger billet of material, ensuring robust support for the larger tool shanks. This strength is crucial for handling the demanding tasks typically associated with carbide inserts, which are often used for more challenging materials.
Constructed from steel, this tool holder provides the necessary durability and resilience, distinguishing it from some aftermarket versions made from aluminum. The design also accommodates 10 mm tool holders, offering sufficient height adjustment to position the cutter accurately on the centerline. This versatility makes it a valuable addition for those seeking to expand the capabilities of their machining setup.
