We were told that it would take 3 months to get C-5 rotary Capto tools from Sandvik. Seems ridiculous. Anyone else having similar problems?

I can't say for sure, but I think C5 is an 'oddball' size?
edit: maybe not. https://www.mscdirect.com/browse/tn...287924366+4286962421&searchterm=c5+toolholder
Have you looked into other brands? Sandvik does not have exclusivity to them now...
So according to my Sandvik guy, there is a LOT of Capto that is not stocked, and is made to order. I got a similar lead time on some holders for the lathe, because of C3 being an oddball size that is relatively rarely ordered.
This is tooling for new machines, and we are locked into who we can buy them from.
The machines were purchased with tooling certificates from Sandvik.Well sucks to be you. Smart ass comments aside, can you share why? Have you explained to whoever you are reporting to it is a 3 month lead time?
I was tooling up some Integrex about a year ago with C6 and not having issues so I am guessing it is the size, but it's just a guess...

You're talking about live tools for a lathe with capto spindles?
Because those are almost certainly made to order.
Even the static ones are made to order because of all the different turret types they have to support.
The static tools were no problem. It is for a DMG Mori NLX. They make boatloads of that model. The rotary tools are the what we are waiting on.
