[edit]VDI is also a method used for fixing tools but no mention of this on Wiki...
The VDI tooling co website gives the following explanation:- The main principle behind the VDI system is a quick-change, cam-operated clamping system for each tool holder within the tool disc. Tool changes can therefore be performed within seconds, rather than within minutes as with the traditional block system. The tool holders can also be preset away from the lathe on a pre-setter.
The VDI tool holder retention system provides an accurate and rapid method of affixing tools to the turret plates. The round serrated tool holder shank fit into tool pockets which are located on the face or edge of the tool plate clamping mechanism using a single Allen wrench to achieve precise, rigid and secure locking of the tool holder.
