Tool holder has a first section adapted to be connected to a machining center and a tool holding section comprising a bore with a surface defining an inner diameter of the bore. Dispersed around the surface of the bore and at least partially embedded in the surface of the bore is a joining compound having a Young's modulus greater than a Young's modulus of the surface of the bore.
