Parlec says ductile iron has 6.6 times the vibration damping properties of alloy steels, which enhances cutting tool performance and extends tool life. The higher graphite content of ductile iron is said to reduce friction and prevent premature wear of the tool holder.

Parlec, a member of Techniks Tool Group, has released a line of BMT65 toolholders made from ductile iron. According to Parlec, ductile iron has 6.6 times the vibration damping properties of alloy steels, which enhances cutting tool performance and extends tool life. In addition, the higher graphite content of ductile iron is said to reduce friction and prevent premature wear of the tool holder.

Parlec says BMT65 tool holders fit on many BMT65 lathe turrets, including Haas, Doosan, Daewoo, Hwacheon, Hyundai and others. Parlec BMT65 tool holders are available in inner-diameter styles for 1", 1-1/2" 25 mm, and 40 mm tool diameters for single-sided holders and in 1-1/4" for double-sided holders. Outer-diameter style holders are available in 1" and 25 mm for both single and double-sided setups.
