Parlec, a member of Techniks Tool Group, has released a line of U.S.-made BMT65 toolholders made from ductile iron. According to Parlec, ductile iron has 6.6 times more vibration damping properties than alloy steels, enhancing cutting tool performance and extending tool life. In addition, the higher graphite content of ductile iron reduces friction and prevents premature wear of the toolholder.
Parlec BMT65 toolholders fit on a variety of BMT65 lathe turrets including Haas, Doosan, Daewoo, Hwacheon, Hyundai and others. Parlec BMT65 toolholders are available in I.D. styles for 1", 1-1/2", 25 mm and 40 mm tool diameters for single-sided holders and in 1-1/4" for double-sided holders. O.D. style holders are available in 1" and 25 mm for both single and double-sided setups.
