Techleader offers the full range of VDI quick-change precision toolholders for CNC lathes. With shanks from 20 to 80mm, and manufactured to DIN 69880-1 & VDI 3425-2 standards, we have an extensive stock at competitive prices.

The main principle behind the VDI system is a quick-change, cam-operated clamping system for each toolholder within the tool disc. Tool changes can therefore be performed within seconds, rather than within minutes as with the traditional block system. The toolholders can also be preset away from the lathe on a presetter.

This quick-change design principle has been employed in Western Europe for many years, but is relatively new to North America.

Other features include:

• Heat-treated steel with approx. 700N/mm2 tensile strength
• Hardened and ground cylindrical shaft
• Ground tool seat faces and shoulder
