Magnum AR8 3/8 Inch Shank Indexable Tool Holder with Screw

Simplify your right-hand turning and facing tasks with a tool designed to maintain a true cutting edge in high-heat environments. The Magnum AR8 holder utilizes C6 carbide on a robust 1/2-inch shank, providing the thermal stability required for industrial alloys. By switching to indexable inserts instead of regrinding bits, you ensure repeatable geometry across large production runs while the recessed screw-lock protects fasteners from abrasive chip flow.

Features

• Shock Resistance - High-carbon steel body construction for superior shock resistance during heavy cuts.
• Recessed Lock - Mechanism protects the fastener from chip abrasion and mechanical wear.
• Hardened Pocket - Maintains strict dimensional tolerance over the entire tool life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use this for facing to the center? A: Yes, the AR-style approach is specifically optimized for facing toward the center of the workpiece.

Q: Is the body heat-treated? A: Yes, the high-carbon steel body is heat-treated to resist deformation under industrial cutting pressures.
