Quick-change steel holder
Quick-change steel holders based on the "Multifix" system are used for quick and easy tool changes. The turning tool is clamped in the steel holder and aligned to the correct height (spindle centre). The set height is secured using a lock nut. The next time the steel holder is inserted, the tool is immediately set to the centre again.
How to find the right size quick-change steel holder
The following parameters are important to find out which size of quick-change steel holder fits your lathe:
- Width of the top slide
- Height of the top edge of the top slide to the centre of the spindle
- Dimensions of the stud bolt
Our digital advisor will help you to find an initial rough selection of quick-change steel holders that are compatible with your lathe. Please note that the dimensions of the stud bolt are not included in the selection, as each lathe has individual stud bolt dimensions and designs. It may be necessary to adapt the stud bolt to the base body. If you have any questions or feedback on our digital advisor, our customer service team will be happy to help you at any time.

Quick-release steel holder size
If you already have a Multifix system, you can quickly see what size it is. The designation of each quick-change holder consists of a combination of letters and numbers. The first letter of the steel holder stands for the system size (here: size A), the second for the type of holder (e.g. "D" = flat holder for turning tools). The first number (e.g. 20) indicates the maximum turning tool height in mm. The second number (e.g. 90) indicates the length of the holder.
