What does Checkholder do?
Calculate the require tool length for an operation.
Find any interferences that the toolholder will have with the part
Generate additional tools and operations for deeper area’s that the original tool couldn’t reach.
Example: If the tool length is 1 inch, and the required length is 1 ½ inches then a 1 ¼ and a 1 ½ tools are created along with an separate operation for each tool.
