    Lathe Tool Inserts for Multiple Materials

    Choose these premium carbide inserts to turn a variety of materials without changing out your tool. They’re made of higher-quality carbide than economy inserts, so they last longer and create a smoother finish. Install them into a matching holder. For the best performance, choose an insert designed for the material of your workpiece.
    Inserts with a larger nose angle and tip radius remove more material with each pass, but they cut less precisely than smaller inserts. Select the insert with the largest nose angle and tip radius that will turn your workpiece to the shape you want.

    Clear Plastic Case

    For Interrupted Cutting Conditions—Inserts for interrupted cutting conditions are best for workpieces that will come in and out of contact with the insert, such as hex bars.
    Individual—Inserts sold individually come packed in a clear plastic case to protect cutting edges during shipment.
    Package—Inserts sold in packages come factory sealed from the manufacturer for maximum traceability.
    Uncoated—Uncoated inserts are sharper than coated inserts, so they leave a better finish on softer metals, such as aluminum. They’re good for general purpose cutting and short production runs.
    Positive Rake Angle—Positive-rake inserts stick out in front of the holder to reach tight spaces on the workpiece. However, they only have cutting edges on one side.
    For Finishing Cutting Operation—Use finishing inserts at the end of your turning process to remove minimal material for a smooth surface finish.
    Chip Breakers—Inserts with chip breakers prevent long chips from forming, so they won’t block the flow of coolant or damage your tool.

    Titanium Nitride (TiN) Coated—Titanium nitride (TiN) coated inserts create less friction than uncoated inserts, so they last longer when run at similar speeds.
    Positive Rake Angle—Positive-rake inserts stick out in front of the holder to reach tight spaces on the workpiece. However, they only have cutting edges on one side.

    Pair these holders with a carbide insert (not included) to enlarge existing holes to precise diameters. They’re made to ANSI standards. Face your lathe and use the direction the spindle rotates to choose an insert holder.

    Right-Hand Cutting Direction—Use right-hand holders when the spindle of your lathe rotates counterclockwise.
    Carbide—Carbide holders are more rigid than steel holders, so they vibrate less and leave a smoother finish.
    Coolant Hole—Holders with a coolant hole deliver coolant through the holder from your lathe onto the workpiece to minimize heat.
