Can anyone ID this style of ISO20 toolholder.
The tool is 1/8" secured by a set screw.
All I can find in my searching is a version that takes a collet.

"Side lock" tool holder
- this style is not suitable for high RPM cutting machines as they (by design) are out-of-balance
Personally... I would not run these above S8000 as vibrations are a major cause of bearing failure.
Slow down....
Does your machine take ISO20 or SK20 ?
Or even BT20 or CAT20
Does it have a tool changer ?
It is important to get the right holder form & pull studs
You may have some mention in the machine / spindle specifications.
If you manually change tools, then it may not matter, but sidelocks have tendered to fall from favour due to higher spindle speeds & balance needs of newer machines.
Collets (ER16, range 1-10mm) run truer than sidelocks & drill chucks
It takes ISO20. Which is why I said "Can anyone ID this style of ISO20 toolholder" rather than "can anyone ID this style of SK20".Does your machine take ISO20 or SK20 ?
What is pictured is one of the ISO20 toolholders from the machine.
So it's an ISO20. It's not something else :-)
As I already mentioned the machine has a 5000rpm spindle.
In case it's not clear, I was asking if anyone knows of a supplier of this side-lock style ISO20. I'm aware of issues with varying pull studs but it doesn't change the question above.
Sorry, my question was a bit vague
If your machine does not have a toolchanger, and you manually change your tools.
Then... ISO20 holders may not be necessary, as long as the taper & drive slots match to the spindle drive, you would need to compare the parts/drawings.
I also am finding only ER holders, & shell endmill holders on the Web.
