Abstract

A tool holder includes a body with a central internal threaded section, and a coolant coupling device within the tool holder. The coolant coupling device includes a threaded body section to engage the internal threads of the tool holder, a smaller diameter nose section, and a coolant passage through the device to align with a coolant passage in a cutting tool. A sealing ring around the end of the coolant passage forms a seal when the coolant coupling device abuts against a tool shank. The body section includes a wrench slot by which to turn the device for axial movement within the tool holder.
