These inserts are made with a black alumina ceramic on the cutting edges. Compared to carbide inserts, ceramic lasts longer in hardened-steel tooling applications because it is chemically inert and has better heat resistance.

Choose these premium turning carbide inserts to cut a variety of materials without changing out your tool.

Made of an abrasion-resistant carbide designed for turning cast iron, these inserts will last longer than inserts for multiple materials.

Heat resistant and wear resistant, these inserts cut super alloys—such as Inconel and Waspaloy—and titanium better than general use inserts.

Mount blade-style holders to a lathe tool post or turret.

Fit these holders directly into a lathe tool post or appropriately sized holder without the need for a tool block.

Pair these holders with a tool block for right- and left-hand mounting in a lathe.

The rounded nose on these inserts contours the outside of the workpiece and cuts grooves with rounded edges.

A thinner cutting edge and thicker top edge give these blades a T‐shape profile that moves chips away from the cut and reduces friction for fast cutting.

The carbide tip brazed onto these blades is more wear resistant than high-speed steel.
