Clamp holder D472TM for TCMT 16T3 indexable inserts — right-hand, 12 × 12 mm shank (Teknik Makina)

A Clamp holder D472TM engineered to secure TCMT 16T3 inserts for right-hand external turning, offering standard shank dimensions for easy integration into common toolposts.

• Secure clamping for TCMT 16T3 inserts
• Right-hand cut orientation, 91° approach angle
• 12 × 12 mm shank fits standard toolholders
• Torx T15 screw with M3.5×8.5 fastener

Consistent cutting geometry for reliable turning performance

The clamp is built to provide secure clamping of TCMT 16T3 indexable inserts, delivering a repeatable interface between insert and holder that reduces micro-movement under load. The nominal 91° approach angle establishes a near-neutral cutting geometry that is well suited to general external turning tasks and helps to balance radial cutting forces. With a compact head and defined cutting height, the toolholder supports steady chip formation and contributes to longer insert life through reduced vibration and predictable contact conditions.

Fast insert changes and maintenance-friendly fastening

Designed with workshop efficiency in mind, the holder employs a Torx T15 drive and an M3.5×8.5 fastening screw for straightforward insert clamping and removal. This proven fastening standard speeds up indexable insert replacement and maintenance routines, lowering machine downtime. The combination of a clearly defined screw interface and robust clamping geometry ensures repeatable seating of the insert, minimising the need for frequent re-adjustment and thereby improving overall process uptime.

Compact shank and stable construction for easy integration

A 12×12 mm shank and a 16 mm cutting head width make this holder simple to fit into standard toolposts and quick-change systems common in small to medium-sized lathes. The 22.5 mm cutting height and the modest mass (approx. 0.136 kg) mean the holder contributes only minimal inertial load while maintaining the rigidity required for stable turning. Marked to ISO designation 1212 and supplied as SKU D472TM, the construction suits routine workshop applications where predictable clamping behaviour and conformity to established toolholder standards are essential.

FAQ

What inserts are compatible with this clamp holder?
The clamp holder is compatible with TCMT 16T3 indexable inserts; the pocket geometry and clamping arrangement are configured for that insert designation.

Is this holder suitable for left-hand turning?
This specific toolholder is configured for right-hand turning; a left-hand version is not indicated for SKU D472TM.

What drive is required to tighten the clamping screw?
A Torx T15 driver is specified for the M3.5×8.5 clamping screw used on the holder.

Can the holder be mounted in standard 12 × 12 mm toolposts?
Yes, the 12×12 mm shank is dimensioned for standard toolposts and quick-change adapters used in many workshops.

What does the 91° cutting angle mean for machining?
The 91° approach angle gives a near-neutral cutting geometry that helps distribute cutting forces predictably, aiding in stable external turning and consistent surface finish.
