in bores as small as 1.7 mm. The Microscope line offers a large range of new single-ended inserts and a full range of tool holders with a simple clamping system.
Two coolant holes for effective chip removal and cooling of cutting edge
Simple and fool-proof, the new clamping system uses one large screw to secure the insert in the holder
