Lathe Tool Holder FANAR SER 2020 K16 — folding lathe tool holder SER2020K16

FANAR SER 2020 K16 is a folding lathe tool holder designed to hold indexable cutting inserts for turning operations. The SER2020K16 model provides a compact, foldable form factor that facilitates storage and transport while maintaining rigid clamping for external and light internal turning tasks. It is intended for use with compatible lathe tool posts and is suitable where a folding holder design is preferred to save space or simplify handling.

Advantages

The folding mechanism reduces the holder's overall footprint when not in use, improving workshop organization and portability. Precision-machined contact surfaces and a stable clamping system ensure consistent insert position and repeatable cutting geometry. The holder's compact construction makes it convenient for setups with limited space and for operators who need quick changeover and secure insert retention during turning.

Suitable for

• External turning of shafts and cylindrical parts
• Light internal turning where a folding holder fits the tool post
• Workshops that require compact, portable tooling solutions
• Setups with limited clearance or frequent tool changes

Key specifications

• Form factor: folding lathe tool holder suitable for tool post mounting
• Insert type compatibility: indexable cutting inserts designed for turning
• Operation: external turning and light internal turning capability
• Construction: compact, rigid body engineered for secure clamping
• Use case: designed for workshop portability and space-saving storage

How to use

Mount the folding tool holder securely to a compatible lathe tool post following the machine manufacturer's clamping procedures. Install the appropriate indexable insert into the holder seat, ensuring correct orientation and seating against the locator surfaces, then tighten the clamp screw to the specified torque. Unfold the holder into the operating position and verify insert alignment with the workpiece before starting the spindle. For internal turning, confirm clearance and reach limitations of the folded design prior to cutting.

Usage recommendations

Use inserts matched to the material being machined and observe recommended cutting parameters for feed, speed, and depth of cut. Regularly inspect the clamping surfaces and mounting interfaces for wear or damage and clean chips from the folding mechanism to ensure reliable operation. When transporting or storing the holder, fold it to minimize space and protect the insert seat.
