tool holder
Workshop storage container
A tool holder is a device that secures a cutting tool in a machine—typically a lathe, mill, or CNC machine.
The holder grips the tool shank firmly while allowing precise positioning and quick changes between operations.
Tool holders come in standardized sizes and types to match different machines and tooling systems: The shop invested in a set of quick-change tool holders to reduce setup time.
