I picked up 2 boring bars, and 10 End Mills and Reamers yesterday for $20 at a local machine shop that is selling out a lot of surplus tooling. The only problem is I don't know what inserts to buy for the Boring Bars.
Any help would be appreciated.

I found what I need for the Valenite Bar. TNFM 22.010 RE or TNFM 221EL

I still don't know what the Kennametal one takes. Looks like I also need a shim for it also.
I believe the number is: S10-KTFPR2

Here is a better pic of the holder area.

KTFPR2 accepts TPG22_.
 
Thanks darkzero.
What about a shim? Any idea where to get it?

One good possibility is to contact Curtis at lathe inserts.com. He is a ex kennametal rep and extremely knowledgeable and helpful.

No idea. If you can find the datasheet it for it, I'm sure it would give you the shim p/n & you could search for it. I would assume MSC should have it.

As Darrell recommended, Curtis is an ex Kennametal rep, I'm sure he could help you too.
 
The cartridges I have that take TPG 222s don't have shims.
 
I agree ^^^^ If it used a shim it would have a threaded hole to hold the shim.
