I got the codes on the indexable inserts figured out, lots of information out there. What I can't find is the code breakdown of the different holders, like SCLCR, SCLCL, TAR, TAL, TBR, TBL, TE,.....etc.. guessing the last digit stands for left and right, could not decipher the others. Is there a published code sheet like in the inserts as to what all these mean?


TIA
 
Page 731 in Machinerys Handbook 25th ed. Is there something particular you are looking for?
 
I looked it up and found this:
