Hello all,
My name is Nick, I'm new to the forum, and fairly new to machining. I've taken a machining class at the local community college, and been puttering around in my garage shop in my free time over the past few years. I've learned a lot, and have a lot of learning ahead of me.
I was given some Valenite carbide insert lathe tools, and I'm having a heck of a time working out what type of inserts these take. I've tried googling the information printed on the holders without any luck.
From what I've read online, I'll need to make sure that the inserts are the correct shape, size, thickness and mounting hole configuration.
I'd like to be able to use these holders, any help on where to find information on these or decode the part numbers would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Info off the tool holders:
Turning tool PTANR-08-2.5U 8T5
Small turning tool PTANR-06-2U 5T5
Threading tool SD-TMR-8-3 2T9
Boring tool BHp-EC-612 2T5
