Hertel 1000063 Ctap Indexable Turning Toolholder

Product Description

The HERTEL 1000063 is a right-hand CTAP-style indexable turning toolholder designed for metal cutting and general turning operations on CNC and manual lathes. It uses a clamp-style insert holding method with a 0-degree positive rake angle, which reduces cutting forces and promotes clean chip evacuation on a variety of workpiece materials. The toolholder accepts TP..22 series inserts with a 0.25-inch inscribed circle diameter. The steel shank measures 0.625 inches wide by 0.625 inches tall with an overall length of 4.5 inches. This toolholder is installed by machinists and CNC operators in production and job-shop environments.

This toolholder is suited for external turning applications where a right-hand cutting direction is required. The CTAP style with a 3-degree lead angle makes it appropriate for general-purpose turning, facing, and profiling passes. The clamp-type insert retention provides reliable insert indexing and consistent tool geometry repeat across multiple edges. It is commonly used in both manual lathe and CNC turning center setups where TP..22 insert geometry is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or CNC setup technician. The machine spindle must be stopped and the turret or tool post de-energized before mounting or removing the toolholder. Secure the shank in the tool post or turret station according to the machine manufacturer torque specifications. Verify insert seating and clamp engagement before resuming cuts. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and machine guarding requirements during setup.
