Axial vs Radial Tool Holders: What’s The Difference?
In CNC machining, tool holders play a pivotal role, acting as the critical interface between the machine and the cutting tool. Their primary function is to securely hold and accurately position the tool, ensuring precision and efficiency in the machining process. This article delves into the specifics of axial and radial tool holders, two key types distinguished by their orientation and application. Axial tool holders align the tool along the machine’s axis, while radial holders position it perpendicular to the axis.
