The customer demonstrates long term archiving, Ifanger sustainability!
A conversation on a Tuesday morning in November 2026:
- I need to replace my cutter holder!
- Er, yes. Gladly. Do you have a reference..?
- Oh. Hm. Hold on, I'll call you back.
20 minutes later, an email with a copy of a delivery note. From May 1991.
This is no longer archiving, it is turning into historical chronicle!
That said, no problem. The MK3 holder for counterbores is still manufactured, without any modification, and was delivered from stock. The parcel left the same day together with its counterbore and the pilot screw.
Some will say dust doesn't improve tools. Our answer: there is no reason to abandon simple and effective solutions just because they are getting on in years. All the more so since the very same machine has been in the customer's workshop since 1991.
..sometimes "sustainability" also means services guaranteed across several generations.
And by the way, we propose one of the most versatile system for micro inner turning on Swiss-type lathes since 30 years.
From Ø0.20 mm on.
