Canela builds the complete turning system — toolholders, boring bars, cartridges and the inserts that go in them. Pick the one measurement you already know and we take you straight to the tools that fit. No endless grid.
The one dimension your turret already decided for you.

The polygonal shank coupling (ISO 26623-1) clamps from inside, so a turning head, a boring bar, a threading tool or a drill comes off and another goes on in seconds and repeats to the micron. The whole catalog is here — 1,553 references priced online, from the machine adaptor that bolts into your spindle to the insert at the tip. Every page lists its insert size, the spare parts that fit it and the tightening torque.

The taper is the one thing your machine will not negotiate. From there the PSC side is yours to change.

An extension keeps the same PSC size at both ends; a reducer steps a big machine coupling down to a smaller tool. A blank adaptor is nitride hardened and left for you to machine.
Blank adaptors (37) Reducers (21) Extensions (15) Coupling caps (9) Test arbors (3)
These carry a square turning toolholder or a parting blade on the PSC coupling, so the tooling you already own runs on a modular machine.

Ceramic cuts cast iron at speeds carbide cannot survive, and takes hardened steel and nickel-based alloys that would burn a carbide edge. Every holder page lists its clamp, screw, lever, shim seat and tightening torque, and links to the spare parts that fit it.

Three ways to cut a groove or part off: a holder that takes a single-ended insert, a modular blade you slide into the holder, or a blade in a tool block. Every tool page lists the insert it takes, its screw, wrench, clamp and tightening torque, and links to the spare parts that fit it.

Top Notch tools clamp the insert from the top, so you index it in the turret. One holder grooves, profiles and threads — you just change the insert. Pick the insert size and everything that fits it comes with it.

A Canela toolholder code describes the whole tool. MCFNR 12 4 C reads as: clamping method, insert shape, holder style, insert clearance angle, hand of tool, shank height and width in inches, insert cutting edge length, and tool length — C is 5 inches.
Once you can read the code you can specify the exact tool without opening a catalog. Turning insert designation explained →
