Instructions for Tuff Modular Head System

Selection of “MSN Carbide shank holder“

In case of using modular head over φ16mm, please select

MSN carbide shank whose diameter (φD1) is 1mm or more smaller thanmodular head (φDc). A wrong selection causes damage to the carbide shank.

Clearance necessary

MSN carbide shank holder more than 0.5mm

Neck diameter: φD1

φDc−φD1φ1mm

Coolant or air blow is recommended

for flushing the chips.

Modular head

Tool diameter: φDc

In case of finishing operation (like Mirror Ball, Mirror Radius etc.), the damage risk of the

carbide shank is low. Clearance more than 0.5mm is not necessary.

Caution for the mounting on shrink-fit holder.

When you use acarbide shank and a modular head onthe shrink-fit holder, please shrink-fit the only carbide shank without

mounting a modular head. Please mount amodular head after shrink-fit operation. Note: In case of shrink fit MSN shank+Modular Head together, it will be difficult to loose due to heat desipation.
