Vibration-Damped Turning Tool Holders for Stable, Productive Turning
Chatter shouldn’t force you to slow down. MAQ STMD™ turning tool holders automatically respond to changing vibration conditions, helping maintain stable cutting, improve surface finish, extend insert life, and increase productivity in demanding turning applications.
Available in a wide range of configurations, including compact 6 mm and 8 mm solutions, with reach options from 3×D to 15×D.
Is Vibration Limiting Your Turning Performance?
You may be losing productivity if:
· You reduce cutting speeds to avoid chatter
· Surface finish varies between parts
· Tool life is shorter than expected
· Operators frequently adjust cutting parameters
· Vibration limits productivity in demanding turning operations
Why Manufacturers Choose MAQ

Increase productivity without sacrificing quality Run higher speeds and feeds while maintaining excellent surface finish and extending tool life.
No tuning. No adjustments. STMD™ technology automatically adapts to changing cutting conditions, eliminating the need for manual tuning or setup changes.
Turning Tool Holders for Demanding Applications
Explore MAQ’s range of vibration-damped turning tool holders, including compact 6 mm and 8 mm solutions, multiple cutter-head configurations, and reach options from 3×D to 15×D.
Why Traditional Vibration-Damped Holders Reach Their Limits
Traditional vibration-damped tool holders are designed to perform best at a specific vibration frequency. As cutting conditions change, their damping performance can decrease.
MAQ’s patented STMD™ technology continuously adapts during machining, helping maintain stable cutting conditions across a wider range of applications.
By responding in real time, STMD™ reduces chatter, improves surface finish, and enables higher productivity without manual tuning or adjustments. The result is more stable machining across demanding turning applications, including long-overhang conditions where vibration can limit performance.
