Reinforced Ceramic Inserts for Heat-Resistant Super Alloys
Made from heat-resistant ceramic, these inserts are reinforced with strands of silicon carbide to add strength and prevent chips or fractures. Also called whisker ceramic inserts, they last up to four times longer than carbide inserts when cutting nickel- or cobalt-based superalloys. Designed for semi-interrupted cutting, they're often used to machine imperfectly round workpieces, such as a shaft with a keyway. They’re tough enough for roughing, or quick material removal, but you can also use them for medium cutting and finishing.
These negative-rake inserts are the first choice for most turning applications. They have cutting edges on both sides, so you can flip them over when the edges on one face wear out. Since they have a 0° lead angle, or neutral cut direction, they can cut from either right to left or left to right.
Inserts with a larger tip radius remove more material with each pass but cut less precisely than smaller inserts. Select the insert with the largest tip radius that still turns your workpiece to the desired shape.
Inserts sold individually come packed in a clear plastic case to protect cutting edges during shipment. Inserts sold in packs come factory sealed from the manufacturer for maximum traceability.

Cutoff, Profiling, and Grooving Carbide Inserts with Two Cutting Edges
Holder (Sold Separately)
and Tool Block (Not Included)
Attach these inserts to a holder or cartridge to carve grooves, shape edges, or slice off the end of your workpiece. Each has two cutting edges—when one edge dulls, switch to the other. They’re also known as indexable inserts. Choose an insert with a thickness that fits your holder or cartridge.
Inserts for semi-interrupted cutting conditions are used to machine imperfectly round workpieces, such as shafts with a keyway. They’re the most common type of insert. Inserts for interrupted cutting conditions are best for workpieces that will come in and out of contact with the insert, such as hex bars.
Bent or square nose inserts are best for cutting grooves with square corners or for slicing through a workpiece. Round nose inserts are used to create smooth, rounded grooves, or to contour a workpiece.
Medium inserts remove a moderate amount of material for a semi-smooth surface finish. Roughing inserts are used for removing material quickly when surface finish isn’t a concern.
Inserts sold individually come packed in a clear plastic case to protect cutting edges during shipment. Inserts sold in packs come factory sealed from the manufacturer for maximum traceability.

Blade-Style Holders for Cutoff and Grooving
Carbide Inserts with Two Cutting Edges
Install these holders in a tool block for right- or left-hand mounting in a lathe. Pair with a carbide insert (sold separately) to make the exact cutoff and grooving tool you need. These holders have an opening at each end.
Use an insert extractor (sold separately) to change out inserts in the holder.

Choose inserts with a thickness that fits your holder. All have two cutting edges—when one edge dulls, switch to the other.
Inserts for semi-interrupted cutting conditions are used to machine imperfectly round workpieces, such as shafts with a keyway. They’re the most common type of insert. Inserts for interrupted cutting conditions are best for workpieces that will come in and out of contact with the insert, such as hex bars.
Bent or square nose inserts are best for cutting grooves with square corners or for slicing through a workpiece. Round nose inserts are used to create smooth, rounded grooves, or to contour a workpiece.
Inserts sold individually come packed in a clear plastic case to protect cutting edges during shipment. Inserts sold in packs come factory sealed from the manufacturer for maximum traceability.

Quick-Change Cartridges for Cutoff, Profiling, and
Grooving Carbide Inserts with Two Cutting Edges
Cut down lathe downtime. 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. These cartridges connect to your lathe with a quick-change cartridge holder (sold separately). All components are coolant-through compatible. They have a hole that delivers coolant from your lathe onto the workpiece to minimize heat.
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.
Cartridges for face grooving can be used to machine circular grooves onto the end of your workpiece. As left-hand cartridges, they move from left to right, or away from the lathe chuck.

Choose inserts with a thickness that fits your holder. All have two cutting edges—when one edge dulls, switch to the other.
Inserts for semi-interrupted cutting conditions are used to machine imperfectly round workpieces, such as shafts with a keyway. They’re the most common type of insert. Inserts for interrupted cutting conditions are best for workpieces that will come in and out of contact with the insert, such as hex bars.
Bent or square nose inserts are best for cutting grooves with square corners or for slicing through a workpiece. Round nose inserts are used to create smooth, rounded grooves, or to contour a workpiece.
Inserts sold individually come packed in a clear plastic case to protect cutting edges during shipment. Inserts sold in packs come factory sealed from the manufacturer for maximum traceability.

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.

Quick-Change Lathe Tools and Holders
Reduce tooling setup time—install the holder once and alternate between applications by switching out the bit. Once the holder has been aligned with the centerline of the lathe, the locking system ensures alignment repeatability from tool to tool.
Face grooving tools machine circular grooves onto the end of a workpiece.

Shank-Style Holders for Cutoff and Grooving
Carbide Inserts with Two Cutting Edges
Pair these holders with a carbide insert (sold separately) to cut grooves and shape workpieces. They fit directly into a lathe tool post, or you can mount them in a tool holder—no tool block needed. These holders have an opening at one end.

Choose inserts with a thickness that fits your holder. All have two cutting edges—when one edge dulls, switch to the other.
Inserts for semi-interrupted cutting conditions are used to machine imperfectly round workpieces, such as shafts with a keyway. They’re the most common type of insert. Inserts for interrupted cutting conditions are best for workpieces that will come in and out of contact with the insert, such as hex bars.
Square nose inserts are best for cutting grooves with square corners or for slicing through a workpiece. Round nose inserts are used to create smooth, rounded grooves, or to contour a workpiece.
Inserts sold individually come packed in a clear plastic case to protect cutting edges during shipment. Inserts sold in packs come factory sealed from the manufacturer for maximum traceability.
