This specialized tool holder utilizes an optimized 91-degree approach (lead) angle to minimize radial deflection, effectively re-directing cutting forces axially down the length of the boring bar to suppress chatter lines inside tight bores down to a \u003cstrong\u003e22mm minimum entry diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Attempting to use this 18mm shank inside a hole smaller than 22mm will cause the back heel of the tool head to rub against the internal radius of your component, causing severe surface finish degradation and insert chipping.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"beyond-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"beyond-faq-q\"\u003eQ: What size inserts fit the S18Q-STFCR11 tool holder?\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"beyond-faq-a\"\u003eA: This boring bar is exclusively built for standard ISO triangular positive inserts with an 11mm cutting edge length.
