As a result of shorter tool overhang, the holders offer a more secure performance in comparison with a cylindrical shank tool clamped in a chuck, and without detriment to torque transmission, run out or accuracy.

Tool overhang should always be kept to an absolute minimum for best machining results. The integrated holders with EH coupling provide a shorter total programming length compared to cylindrical shank tool holders, therefore providing higher stability when all other machining parameters remain unchanged.

Purposely designed to offer modular tooling possibilities, the holders can be deployed in many different tooling combinations to suit specific applications and machine tools, from a smaller inventory of standard items.

Furthermore, because only minimal tool length adjustment is required for each application, machine shops also benefit from reduced set-up times.
