WhizCut WhizFix 2.0 is a modular quick-change toolholder system designed for Swiss-type lathes that reduces tool change time while maintaining repeatable positioning, compact geometry, and cutting stability comparable to solid holders.  WhizCut developed the WhizFix 2.0 system to address a familiar problem on Swiss-type lathes and compact turning platforms—tool changes that interrupt flow, consume setup time, and introduce inconsistency. WhizFix 2.0 approaches this problem with a modular quick-change holder that maintains the rigidity and accuracy expected from a solid toolholder while significantly reducing changeover time.  The system is built around a compact dovetail interface that allows insert heads to be exchanged directly on the machine. Locking and unlocking requires only a short rotation, with low torque values that reduce wear on both the holder and insert head. Once locked, the insert head repeats its position consistently, eliminating the need for touch-offs after routine changes. This repeatability supports stable dimensional control across longer production runs. WhizFix 2.0 maintains a short distance between the insert tip and the holder plate, which improves cutting stability and supports finer surface finishes. The holder geometry is intentionally compact, making it well-suited for machines where tool clearance and gang spacing are critical. Despite its modular design, the system performs with the stiffness typically associated with one-piece holders.
The system is offered in a range of configurations to support common Swiss turning operations, including turning, grooving, and profiling. Insert heads can be shared across compatible holders, reducing overall tooling inventory while increasing flexibility at the machine. WhizCut's WhizFix 2.0 fits well into production environments where uptime, repeatability, and quick changeovers directly affect throughput. That's a marketing line that pretty much identifies anyone running a swiss machine shop. And in this particular case, its jsut true. WhizFix 2.0 delivers in setup efficiency without adding complexity to the process, making it a practical upgrade for every swiss machine.

An innovative and patented toolholder system, from WhizCut, that is perfect for turning against the sub spindle. The height adjustment goes quick and easy - without loss of stability.  Fine-tune your way into the future of backworking, with WhizAdjust, an adjustable toolholder system from WhizCut! Take back working to a new level with Whizcut WhizAdjust and enjoy the flexibility. This is an innovative and patented toolholder system that is perfect for turning against the sub spindle. The height adjustment goes quick and easy - without loss of stability. The quick: The fine-tune adjustment screw together with stable clamping makes it possible to modify center height. Loosen one clamping screw from the WhizAdjust head and shank - and the adjustment is done. It is as easy as that. The stable: The shank and adjustable head are positioned together with serrated surfaces in X axis and the adjustment screw plus a spring in Y. The repeatability, by removing the toolholder and fastening it again, is under 0,005.  WhizAdjust requires only one clamp screw and one adjustment screw Quick facts and benefits of WhizAdjust:
