Overview
ISO 5610-7:2014 - "Tool holders with rectangular shank for indexable inserts - Part 7: Style J" defines the dimensional, designation and basic design rules for tool holders with rectangular shank, style J. Style J is characterized by an offset shank and a cutting edge angle κ = 93° for side cutting. The standard covers holders intended for indexable inserts (carbide or other cutting materials) mounted by clamping and used in turning operations.
Keywords: ISO 5610-7:2014, tool holders, rectangular shank, style J, indexable inserts, turning operations, cutting edge 93°.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope and purpose
- Applies to tool holders with rectangular shank, style J (offset shank, κ = 93°) for turning.
- Dimensions
- Detailed dimensional tables for different insert shapes: rhombic (D, V) and triangular (T).
- Symbols and preferred dimension codes correlate with ISO 5610-1 and ISO/TS 13399 references.
- Designation
- Standardized designation format (example: "Tool holder ISO 5610-7 - SDJCR 1010 E07") including mounting type, insert shape, style, clearance, hand, height, width, length and cutting-edge length.
- Material
- Tool holders should be steel with minimum tensile strength of 1 200 N/mm².
- Design rules
- Types of mounting specified in tables; non-standard mounting allowed by agreement.
- Corner radius (r) and allowed cutting-edge lengths are specified; conversion notes for nominal radii are provided.
- Insert thickness (s) values apply to inserts without shim; deviations must be declared when ordering.
- Extent of delivery and marking
- Holders delivered complete with clamping device but without inserts.
- Marking must include the manufacturer symbol and a reference to ISO 5610-7:2014 on packaging.
Practical applications and users
ISO 5610-7:2014 is primarily used by:
- Tool manufacturers designing and producing rectangular-shank, style J tool holders.
- Tooling engineers and production planners specifying tooling for CNC lathes and turning centers.
- Procurement teams ensuring interchangeability and correct designation when ordering inserts and holders.
- CAD/CAM and tooling library managers who need standardized dimensions and designation codes for tool data management.
- Quality and conformance teams verifying delivered tooling meets material and marking requirements.
Practical benefits: ensures mechanical interchangeability, simplifies procurement, reduces setup errors in turning operations, and supports digital tooling data exchange when paired with ISO/TS 13399 dictionaries.
