This photo shows a right-angle live tool head. The maker and part number are not legible in the image. Please note: Ekstrom Carlson is only repairing this item.
**What I See (Main Item Focused)**
The live tool head has an L-shaped, machined-steel housing. A splined cylindrical coupling sits at the top for mounting to a turret or spindle. A small drill or carbide insert is installed at the tool nose. The body has flat locating faces and a stamped code that can’t be read from this angle.
**Condition and Physical Details**
Surface wear and light scratches indicate normal shop use. The cutting tool at the nose appears intact and seated. There are no visible cracked surfaces or heavy corrosion in the photographed area. Fastener holes and mounting features look serviceable.
**Why this matters to you**
A live tool head like this controls radial cutting operations on a CNC turret. Proper inspection of splines, bearings, and the tool holder is essential for accurate feeding and longevity. Small damages or worn bearings can cause runout and shortened tool life.
