Tool-flo 9HTF72 Flo-lock Tf Clamp Indexable Toolholders

Product Description

The TOOL-FLO 9HTF72 is a TF-style Flo-Lock clamp designed to secure indexable inserts in compatible turning toolholders. It is part of the Flo-Lock series, which uses a lever-actuated clamping mechanism to hold indexable cutting inserts firmly during turning operations. This clamp supports both left-hand and right-hand cutting directions, making it a versatile replacement or service clamp for shops running multiple toolholder orientations. The 9HTF72 weighs 0.01 pounds, making it a lightweight component that replaces worn or damaged clamps without altering toolholder balance or geometry. Machinists and toolroom technicians are the primary installers of this part.

The 9HTF72 is suited for use in CNC turning centers and manual lathes equipped with Flo-Lock-series toolholders. It is compatible with a range of shank sizes and toolholder styles across the Flo-Lock line, covering both imperial and metric toolholder bodies. This clamp is typically stocked as a spare to minimize downtime during insert changes or when a clamp shows wear. It is cataloged under industry standard number TF-72.
