Optimized for use on steel, these inserts can run at higher cutting speeds and will last longer than inserts for multiple materials. Install inserts into a matching holder.

Inserts with a larger nose angle and tip radius remove more material with each pass but cut less precisely than smaller inserts. Select the insert with the largest nose angle and tip radius that will turn your workpiece to the desired shape.

Resisting wear and fractures when cutting hardened steel, these cubic boron nitride inserts last longer than carbide inserts. Use them for high-speed finishing and interrupted cutting applications. All have multiple cutting edges, so when an edge dulls, rotate the insert in your holder to use a sharp edge. Those with larger nose angles and tip radii have stronger cutting edges, but create more vibration and a rougher finish.

For traceability, inserts come factory sealed from the manufacturer.

Install these carbide inserts into a matching holder. When a cutting edge becomes dull, rotate the insert in the holder to use a sharp edge. Larger nose angles and larger tip radii provide a stronger cutting edge but result in increased vibration and a rougher finish.

Heat resistant and shaped for turning stainless steel specifically, they’ll last longer than inserts for multiple materials. Install inserts into a matching holder.

Inserts with a larger nose angle and tip radius remove more material with each pass but cut less precisely than smaller inserts. Select the insert with the largest nose angle and tip radius that will turn your workpiece to the desired shape.

Made for cutting fiberglass, carbide, and ceramic, these inserts have a PCD (polycrystalline diamond) edge that’s extremely hard and resistant to heat and wear. You can also use them on nonferrous metals like aluminum, brass, or bronze. They’re designed for continuous cutting conditions, which means the insert stays in constant contact with the workpiece. Use these inserts at the end of your turning process to finish workpieces—they remove minimal material and leave a smooth surface finish. They come factory sealed from the manufacturer for maximum traceability. Install them into a matching holder.

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 with a shorter cutting edge are best for precision cuts and low-volume applications; a longer edge can handle deep cuts and heavy machining.
