The Sherline 80° RH Tool Holder w/ Carbide Insert is a precision-engineered tool designed for efficient metal cutting tasks. This tool holder features an 80° carbide insert, which is particularly effective for roughing cuts. The design includes a 3/8″ square shank that fits securely in a 3/8″ insert tool post, ensuring stability during operation. The tool holder is crafted from case-hardened steel and finished with a black oxide coating, providing durability and resistance to wear.

The tool’s 5° offset angle facilitates specific cutting operations, such as turning an outer diameter up to a shoulder and finishing the shoulder while maintaining proper tool clearance. The cutting tip is positioned .375″ from the bottom of the holder, adhering to industry standards for optimal performance. This tool holder is particularly advantageous in professional machine shops where cutting exotic metals or abrasive materials is required, as carbide tools maintain their cutting edge longer than high-speed steel tools.

The carbide insert can be rotated 180° when one edge becomes dull or chipped, effectively doubling the tool’s lifespan. This feature makes it a cost-effective choice despite its higher initial expense. Note: A right-hand tool has its cutting edge on the left, with the chip peeling off to the right.
