SwissLine® is the Denitool program of external (OD) turning tool holders for Swiss-type lathes (sliding-headstock automatic lathes). The holders are right-hand, through-hardened steel holders with a square shank (12 × 12 mm or 16 × 16 mm, 125 mm long). They take standard screw-clamped positive inserts of the sizes CCGT 09T3.., DCGT 11T3.. and VCGT 1303... There is no bore-diameter limit (OD tools, no DMIN).

Denitool is made by DENI AG (Veltheim, Switzerland) and its subsidiary Denitool Inc. (Raleigh NC, inch program).

## Features (as stated by Denitool)

- **Economy, performance and quality:** economic operation with Denitool performance thanks to precision inserts and holders for VCGT 1303.., DCGT 11T3.. and CCGT 09T3.. inserts.
- **Operating conditions and precision:** the precision-ground insert seat ensures very stable turning under different operating conditions. The holder is through-hardened.
- **Tool change:** quick pre-adjustment of the holder after each tool change thanks to an auxiliary scale on the holder.
- Other dimensions and geometries are available on request.

## Terms used on this page

- **KAPR**: tool cutting edge angle (90° or 93° here).
- **PSIR**: tool lead angle (ISO 13399), = 90° − KAPR: 0° for 90° holders, −3° for the 93° holder.
- **H / B**: shank height / shank width. **HF**: cutting edge height, measured from the shank base (here HF = H, the cutting edge is at the shank top).
- **LF**: functional length (= overall length, 125 mm). **LH**: head length (catalog dimension "E", 20 mm).
- **F (catalog drawing) = 0**: the cutting corner is flush with the side face of the shank (ISO 13399 WF = B).
- **Insert size codes** (CC 09T3, DC 11T3, VC 1303): ISO shape + cutting edge length, see https://www.denitool.com/md/en/insert-designation.md

### How to read a holder designation (example SVJCR 1212 K13)

| Position | Code | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | S | Insert clamped by a screw through the insert hole |
| 2 | V | Insert shape: V = 35° rhombic (C = 80° rhombic, D = 55° rhombic) |
| 3 | J | Holder style: J = 93° side-cutting (A = 90° straight) |
| 4 | C | Insert clearance angle 7° |
| 5 | R | Right-hand |
| 6 | 1212 | Shank height × width in mm (12 × 12) |
| 7 | K | Tool length 125 mm (ISO length code K) |
| 8 | 13 | Insert cutting edge length in mm (VCGT 1303..) |

## Matching inserts

The holders take the ISO insert sizes CC 09T3, DC 11T3 and VC 1303 with 7° clearance (T type with fixing hole). Denitool inserts in these sizes, as listed in the online shop (examples, not complete):

| Insert size | Geometries (chip breaker) | Grades |
|---|---|---|
| CCGT 09T3.. | FN-250, FN-18M, EN | DX2, DX20, DX30, DX32, DT55, DT255, DT355 |
| DCGT 11T3.. | FN-250, -15, EN | DX2, DX20, DX30, DX32, DT55, DT255, DT355, STC, DLCC |
| VCGT 1303.. | FN-250, FN-18M, FR/FL-10, FR/FL-15, -25, EN-18M, without chip breaker code | DX2, DX20, DX30, DX50, DX52, DC15, DT10, DT210, DT310, STC |

Geometry codes: F = sharp edge, E = rounded (honed) edge, N = neutral, R/L = right-/left-hand; the number is the rake angle family (FN-250 = 25° rake). Details: https://www.denitool.com/md/en/insert-designation.md. Grades (DX = carbide, DT = cermet, DC = CVD-coated carbide, STC = multi-layer high-performance coating): https://www.denitool.com/md/en/insert-grades.md

`ch.denitool.com` is the Swiss shop (Switzerland and Liechtenstein), `store.denitool.com` the US shop (Denitool Inc.). All eight holders exist in both shops under the designations above. Each product carries ISO 13399 attributes (B, H, HF, LF, LH, KAPR, PSIR, IIC = insert size, HAND, CNSC = coolant).
Screws and drivers are separate shop articles: search `T35.110`, `T30.090`, `T15H`, `T8F`.
