Soneda carbide holder
MAX V POINT
≪Comments from Cominix salespeople≫

・ Especially recommended for Φ10 or less which have high damage ratio.
The 5th place

X5070
≪Comments from Cominix salespeople≫

Editorial note
This time, Gouring HR500 reamer ranked first place while the top three tools had a good reputation and gained overwhelming popularity.Unfortunately, the tools that were not listed in the top 10 were also very close points. My favorite tool, EWS varia and YG-1 4G mills, were ranked in the top 20.
Next time, the situation may change drastically, including new products announced by each company's JIMTOF / MECT.
We would like to continue to provide recommended information that cannot be explain in the catalog, so we look forward to your continued support. (Ikeda)
