Cutting tools / Turning inserts

Start with your tool or machining task.

Choose the next step from what you know: a code, a measurement, an existing holder or the job you need to machine.

01 / CODE

I know the code

Search a full or partial marking. Read dimensions and compare nearby sizes.

Look up dimensions →
02 / MEASUREMENTS

I have an old insert

Use shape, measured IC and thickness to find candidate specifications.

Identify my insert →
04 / MACHINING JOB

I need to choose a tool

Record material, operation and holder. See the supported examples and unresolved checks.

Start with the job →

Browse turning-insert series

Choose a series to read the shared geometry and its specification list. Use the lookup workbench to search all markings, filter dimensions and compare sizes.

Check the evidence before choosing a product

707 nominal references and 108 markings needing clarification are organized in these series. A nominal designation does not establish a purchasable product or holder compatibility.

How to interpret dimensions and product information

A specification describes nominal geometry. A manufacturer’s complete designation adds grade, chipbreaker and product-specific conditions. Matching geometry alone does not confirm holder fit or a suitable application.
