ISO 5610-15:2014

Overview

ISO 5610-15:2014 is an international standard specifying the dimensions and characteristics of tool holders with rectangular shanks, style V. These tool holders feature an offset shank design with a cutting edge angle of 72.5°, optimized for side cutting operations. Primarily intended for use with indexable inserts made from hard metals or other cutting materials, the standard supports turning operations where precision and reliability are critical.

This standard is part 15 of the ISO 5610 series, covering various styles of rectangular shank tool holders tailored for different indexable insert shapes and applications. The document ensures uniformity and interchangeability between tooling components worldwide, aiding manufacturers, tool designers, and users in the metal cutting and machining industries.

Key Topics

• Tool Holder Design and Dimensions
  ISO 5610-15:2014 provides detailed dimensional specifications for style V tool holders, including height, width, length, and cutting edge length. It addresses the mounting type, corner radius, and thickness of compatible indexable inserts.

• Cutting Edge Angle
  The cutting edge angle (κ) is precisely set at 72.5°, which is ideal for side cutting applications with rhombic inserts, enhancing cutting efficiency and tool life.

• Indexable Insert Compatibility
  This standard applies to indexable inserts made of hard metal or similar cutting materials. Inserts clamp securely to the tool holder, facilitating quick replacements and reducing downtime.

• Designation System
  A clear and systematic designation method is defined, incorporating tool holder style, mount type, insert shape, clearance symbols, and size dimensions. This standardized naming convention simplifies identification and procurement.

• Material Requirements
  Tool holders should be manufactured from steel with a minimum tensile strength of 1200 N/mm², ensuring mechanical durability during demanding machining operations.

• Marking and Delivery
  Tool holders must be delivered with clamping devices but without inserts, and should be marked with manufacturer identification along with the ISO 5610-15:2014 reference.

Applications

• Turning Operations
  The style V tool holders are designed specifically for turning machines, widely used in metalworking workshops for shaping cylindrical parts.

• Industrial Manufacturing
  Used in automotive, aerospace, and general machinery industries where precision machining of hard materials is crucial.

• Machining Hard Metals
  Compatible with indexable inserts made from carbide or other advanced cutting materials, these tool holders facilitate efficient machining on tough workpieces.

• Tooling Systems Integration
  This standard allows seamless integration into existing tooling systems, enabling flexible and modular tooling setups.
