Product adds cutting axis to existing machines

NT Tool’s Angle Heads add a new cutting axis to existing machines, allowing machinists to machine from additional angles without the need for tilt tables.

They come in fixed angles of 45 and 90 degrees, as well as a flexible model that can be set to any angle in between, as needed. On each model, the angled portion of the holder can be rotated 360 degrees, allowing the new axis to face any direction. All fixed models come with an external nozzle for directing coolant at the cutting surface, and center-through coolant can be added upon request (not available for flexible type).

All models use numerous collet sizes, which allow any tool from 0.02 to 0.787 in. to be chucked. Taps can be chucked using the company’s tension/compression tap adapters.

They also are compatible with ATC arms, allowing them to be mounted as easily as any other tool holder after the initial setup is complete. They are available in CAT, HSK, and BT shanks, with other shanks accommodated as custom orders.
