STECN Toolholder for TCMT Inserts

[Daniel TompkinsParticipant @danieltompkins96391]

Hi, I've upgraded to a larger lathe from my Warco and when I sold it I also included the five tool holders that came in a neat little wooden box. And as such, i don't have a STECN tool holder for TCMT inserts anymore.

Does anyone know where I can obtain one, ideally 12 or 16 mm. Are US friends seem to be able to buy them, but for us Brits there is a dearth, unless you want to buy a boxed set which i don't really want to do as I have, or nearly have, all the tools i require.

Your help is much appreciated.

If all else fails that is probably about the simplest form of holder to make yourself.

I can't see anything in the their catalogue but it might be worth a call to MSC help line as they are US owned.

See mscdirect.co.uk

Daniel, just noticed this post. Cutwell tools sell the inserts and they quote 2 tool holders on this page.

Neither of those toolholders are the STECN style Daniel is looking for and the two links only take you to the homepage.

The STECN holds the triangular insert with one point facing towards the lathe axis a bit like a 60deg threading tool

Jason sorry the link failed, no its not the holder requested but they are holders that take TCMT inserts if you're

desperate for some. The holders quoted are STFCR and STGCR, sorry for any confusion
