Full title and description

STB BS ISO 5609-2:2012 — Tool holders for internal turning with cylindrical shank for indexable inserts — Part 2: Style F. This document specifies the characteristics and dimensional requirements for internal turning tool holders with a reduced cylindrical shank and a cutting-edge angle of 90°, intended for indexable inserts made of hardmetal, ceramics and other cutting materials.

Abstract

Part 2 of ISO 5609 defines style F tool holders for internal turning: geometry, nominal dimensions, and essential characteristics required for proper mounting and interchangeability of indexable inserts in boring/internal-turning operations. It is intended to standardize interfaces and ensure compatibility between holders and inserts.

Scope

This part of ISO 5609 specifies the characteristics of tool holders for internal turning with cylindrical shank — style F (reduced shank, cutting-edge angle = 90°). It covers dimensional data, designation and key features required for holders that accept indexable inserts mounted by clamping for internal turning operations. It is one part of a multi-part series that together replace the earlier ISO 5609:1998.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of style F holder geometry (reduced cylindrical shank, cutting-edge angle 90°) and nominal dimensions.
• Specification of characteristics needed to accept indexable inserts (hardmetal, ceramic, other materials) mounted by clamping.
• Designation and identification rules consistent with ISO 5609 series (cross-references to Part 1 for designation and dimensioning rules).
• Interchangeability and interface standardization to ensure compatibility across manufacturers.
• Normative references to other parts of ISO 5609 and related standards for inserts and tool-holding systems.

Typical use and users

Used by cutting-tool designers and manufacturers, machine-tool builders, production and process engineers, tooling purchasers, and quality/standards personnel who specify or verify internal-turning tool-holder geometry and compatibility with indexable inserts. It is applied in tooling specification, CAD/CAM libraries, procurement documents and quality control for turning and boring operations.

Related standards

ISO 5609-1 (designation, styles, dimensions and calculation for corrections) and other parts of the ISO 5609 series (Parts 3–6) covering different styles; standards for indexable inserts such as ISO 1832 (designation of inserts) and related tooling-interface standards. This part, together with ISO 5609-1 and other parts, superseded the earlier ISO 5609:1998.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: STB BS ISO 5609-2:2012 is the national (BSI) adoption of ISO 5609-2:2012 — an international standard specifying style F tool holders for internal turning with a cylindrical (reduced) shank and a 90° cutting-edge angle.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers dimensional and characteristic requirements for internal turning tool holders (style F), the interface for indexable inserts mounted by clamping, and related designation rules as part of the multi-part ISO 5609 series.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Tool manufacturers, tooling engineers, machine-tool OEMs, procurement and quality teams, and standards/engineering departments involved in turning and boring operations.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 5609-2:2012 is the current edition published in 2012; it and its national adoptions are listed as published/current and it superseded the earlier ISO 5609:1998. Users should check for any later revisions or confirmations with their national standards body for the very latest status.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — ISO 5609 is a multi‑part series (Parts 1–6) covering designation, dimensions and several holder styles; ISO 5609-2 is Part 2 (style F). Related parts and cross-referenced standards (e.g., ISO 5609-1, ISO 5609-3/4/5/6, ISO 1832) should be consulted for complete system specifications.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Internal turning, tool holder, style F, cylindrical shank, indexable insert, cutting tools, boring tool, interchangeability, dimensional tolerances.
