Reference only — always confirm insert geometry (I.C., thickness, nose radius, chipbreaker, and grade) against the manufacturer's spec sheet before ordering, since ANSI/ISO cross-references can vary slightly between insert brands.

Ready to cut

Once the geometry is settled, the grade and the holder decide how long it lasts. Browse the turning line built for tight tolerances under aggressive feeds.
