If you have your own shop, whether it be for woodworking or its a metal shop, then you know the importance of quality tool holders to guarantee accuracy and safety.

But what specific jobs require a tool holder or tool presetter? You may use machine tools like tool presetters and tool holders if you have to grind, bore, shear, cut or otherwise shape touch, rather inflexible substances such as metal. In order to be an effective tool though, it must hold the work materials in place enable you to move the parts of the tool in a guided fashion in order to cut or shape the work material itself.

For flexible shaping of materials in a high speed environment and at a time efficient pace, tool holders are a go to means of completing tasks. You may sometimes find it helpful to use a form tool, which is “precision ground” into a shape similar to the material youre working on.

When a job takes longer or lasts over an extended period of time, a roughing tool can keep the form tool from succumbing to increased wear and tear while eliminating some of the material.
