Quick-Change Boring and Turning Cartridges
Limit downtime when you’re changing out cutting tools. Rather than removing and replacing an insert while your lathe is stopped, just swap out these cartridges and get right back to work. While one cartridge is in use, you can replace the insert in another, so a fresh cutting tool is always ready to go.
Pair these cartridges with a carbide insert and connect them to your lathe with either a quick-change cartridge holder or boring bar (each sold separately). Cartridge holders mount to quick-change lathe systems, also known as Capto, while boring bars mount with round shank toolholders. All components are coolant-through compatible. They have a hole that delivers coolant from your lathe onto the workpiece to minimize heat.
Back-boring cartridges pass through an existing hole to enlarge it from the back of the workpiece, rather than enlarging the hole as they enter. They are commonly used to make pipe fittings and hydraulic cylinders.
Use right-hand cartridges when the workpiece is rotating counterclockwise, or toward you. Use left-hand cartridges when the workpiece rotates clockwise, or away from you.
Cutting edge angle is also known as lead angle, entering angle, or KAPR.

Quick-Change Shank-Style Cartridge Holders for Cutoff,
Profiling, and Grooving Carbide Inserts with Two Cutting Edges
Slot these holders directly into your lathe tool post or mount in a tool holder. They pair with quick-change cartridges (sold separately) to limit downtime when you're changing cutting tools. Rather than removing and replacing an insert while your lathe is stopped, just swap out the cartridge and get right back to work. While one cartridge is in use, you can replace the insert in another, so a fresh cutting edge is always ready to go. Both holders and cartridges have a hole that passes coolant from your lathe onto the workpiece to minimize heat. The coolant also helps flush out chips, which prevents clogs and extends your tool life.
Choose a cartridge with the same cut type as your holder. You’ll also need a carbide insert—make sure the thickness of the insert fits the cartridge.

Cartridges for cutoff, external grooving, and external profiling can be used to slice off the end of your workpiece, carve channels, and create contours on the surface of your workpiece. As right-hand cartridges, they move from right to left, or toward the lathe chuck.
