Extending its range of turning solutions, Tamworth-based Industrial Tooling Corporation (ITC), a leader in premium high-precision tooling systems and solutions for the metalworking industries, has expanded its line of Big Kaiser Capto tool holders with the addition of a new size, C4, which is becoming increasingly popular as a quick-change system for turret tooling on lathes.

In accordance with ISO: 26623-1, the polygon shape of the taper on this toolholder provides for highly repeatable accuracy and torque transmission and it complements Big Kaiser’s Mega chuck rotating tooling programme and improves performance, repeatability, tool life and precision levels.

The BIG Capto C4 is available for both rotating tool holders and turning tools for turning centres. Its integral design enables the holding of a variety of common inserts for different approach angles and clearance requirements in both left and right-hand orientations. These compact and rigid tools also allow for large depth of cuts and feed rates.
