Abstract
Recent years have seen a rapid increase in the sales of turning mills. It is expected that the sales and manufacturing of turning mills will be equivalent to those of CNC lathes and machining centers. However, the interface (connecting section between the tool holder and the spindle) does not employ a common standard. Therefore, a committee (Interface Committee for Turning Mills, ICTM) was organized to design a new open standard. As a result of this committee in October 2002, ICTM-HSK standard that arranged ISOHSK was developed. This particular standard offers high accuracy positioning for turning holders and has exchangeability with ISOHSK-A system
