8466.10.01.10 - Tool holders for forming-type or cutting-type dies 🖩

This category encompasses tool holders specifically designed for use with forming-type or cutting-type dies. These holders are essential components in machinery that shape or cut materials through the action of dies. Examples include chucks, collets, and other devices that secure and present dies to the workpiece during manufacturing processes such as stamping, forging, or thread cutting. The key characteristic is their direct interface with dies used for material deformation or material removal.

This specific classification distinguishes itself from its sibling categories by its focus on holders for forming-type or cutting-type dies, as opposed to holders for replaceable cutting or drill inserts (8466.10.01.30). While both are tool holders within heading 8466, this subcategory is dedicated to the apparatus that holds the entire die itself, facilitating its operation. The "Other" category (8466.10.01.75) serves as a residual for tool holders not fitting the specific criteria of the preceding subheadings.

As a leaf node, this category does not contain further subcategories. Classification within 8466.10.01.10 is determined by the intended use of the tool holder, specifically its role in supporting and presenting forming or cutting dies to machinery within the scope of headings 8456 to 8465. The physical form and material of the holder are secondary to its functional purpose in conjunction with these specific types of dies.
