Din 16742 - Tg5 -

: Standards like DIN 16742 facilitate the interchangeability of tool holders across different machines and manufacturers. This not only offers flexibility in production planning but also helps in reducing inventory levels, as a standard tool holder can be used in various machines.

Dimensions affected by moving parts (like across a parting line or between a slider and a core). These require wider tolerances Super-Ingenuity Material Choice: din 16742 - tg5
