Sherline Lefthand 55º Insert Holder Body 22571

Sherline Lefthand 55º Insert Holder Body 22571

This is a replacement part.

This is the body only, not a complete assembly. If you need the entire holder, you will need part number 2257.

Sherline now manufactures its own inserted tip carbide tool holders. They are available individually as a right-hand holder (P/N 2256) or a left-hand holder (P/N 2257).

The pair of RH and LH is P/N 2258. Each comes with a P/N 7605 55° carbide insert.

The 3/8″ square shank holds the P/N 7600 tool post. The 35° offset angle of the tip makes it easier to accomplish certain cuts.

For example, when you use the tool holder square with the crosslide, you can turn an O.D. up to a shoulder and then finish the shoulder to maintain the proper tool clearance.

The tip of the cutting tool is .375″ from the bottom of the holder.

The holders are made from case hardened steel with a black oxide finish.

Though relatively expensive, if a cutting edge becomes dull or chipped, you can insert and rotate 180° to expose two new cutting surfaces, providing, in effect, two tools for the price of one.

NOTE: A tools name is by the direction from which the chip leaves the tool. A right-hand tool has its cutting edge on the left and the chip peels off to the right.
