A new co-operation agreement between two German companies, tool manufacturer Horn and lathe tool-holder producer W&F Werkzeugtechnik, aims to offer customers complete solutions covering everything from the spindle to the tool cutting edge.

Initially, the collaboration will focus on quick tool-change systems for sliding-head lathes and internally cooled whirling units. Under the deal, W&F tool solutions will be sold worldwide by Horn through its subsidiaries and sales partners in more than 70 countries. The UK subsidiary, Horn Cutting Tools, is located in Ringwood, Hampshire.
