Pafana cutting tool holder S16R SCLCR 09 for external turning, S16R shank

Pafana S16R SCLCR 09 is a cutting tool holder for external turning on lathes, designed to accept SCLCR-style indexable inserts on an S16R shank. Built for metalworking tasks in production and workshop environments, this tool holder secures carbide inserts with a clamping mechanism to ensure stable positioning during facing, profiling and straight turning operations. The S16R shank size provides compatibility with tool posts and turrets that accept the S16R standard, allowing straightforward installation and repeatable set-up.

Advantages

The Pafana S16R SCLCR 09 tool holder offers rigid clamping of indexable inserts and consistent insert orientation for predictable cutting geometry. Its design reduces vibration and improves surface finish by maintaining stable contact between the insert and workpiece. The holder supports quick insert replacement and positioning, helping to minimize machine downtime in serial and workshop turning tasks. Constructed to meet common lathe tool post interfaces, it facilitates easy alignment and integration into existing tooling setups.

Suitable for

• External turning and straight turning operations on lathes
• Facing and profiling of metal workpieces
• Workshop maintenance, small-batch production and prototype machining
• Use with carbide SCLCR-style indexable inserts

Key specifications

• Shank type: S16R compatible shank for lathe tool posts
• Insert style: SCLCR-style indexable inserts
• Operation: External turning, facing and profiling
• Clamping: Mechanical clamping mechanism for insert retention
• Material compatibility: Suitable for machining a range of metals with appropriate inserts

How to use

Install the Pafana S16R SCLCR 09 tool holder into the lathe tool post or turret that accepts S16R shanks and ensure it is securely tightened. Fit a compatible SCLCR indexable insert into the pocket and engage the clamping mechanism according to the insert manufacturer’s torque recommendations. Set tool height and tool offset as required for the turning operation and verify insert orientation and clearance before cutting. Perform a trial cut at conservative feed and speed to confirm setup, then adjust cutting parameters for the workpiece material and insert grade.

Usage recommendations

Use carbide inserts selected for the specific material being machined and follow the insert supplier’s guidelines for cutting speeds, feeds and depths of cut. Regularly inspect the clamping screw and seating surfaces for wear or damage and replace inserts when wear affects dimensional accuracy or surface finish. Maintain correct tool height and secure tool post mounting to reduce chatter and extend insert life.
