Everything You Wanted To Know About Carbide Inserts But Were Afraid To Ask

Wow Rich, this is great. I shoulda guessed that ANSI would have something like this. It sure beats
plowing through manufacturers catalogs to find what you need.
Thanks

Thanks the dern things have always been a mystery trying to figure which for what and all the other what's zits too. Should help define and make looking for the right cutters now , thanks again.
 
Thanks for the post. I checked it over and could not find any info on the screw hole dimension, for various inserts. Seems to be a very closely guarded secret from most manufactures
 
:+1: For Carbide Depot Use it for info all the time.
 
The link was to a listing of the ANSI B212.4-2002 American National Standard "For Cutting Tools, Indexable Inserts Identification System" This standard has been superseded by the ISO standard which I do not have the number for. I'm sure the reason for it's removal is ANSI pulled it from public view. To view the standards legally, you must purchase a copy of the standard. I'm sure if you searched for this standard on the internet, you may be able to find a copy of it. Ken
