Insert Holders

[FirstEliminator]

Hey guys,

After watching one of Adam's (Abom79) videos on youtube, I was looking through e-bay and ended up buying some WNMG-433 inserts. Then I realized I needed to find a holder. I found a Sandvic holder that has the same letter designation of WNMG, yet it comes with a 432 insert. My searching around I found a nice chart that defines the letter and number designations of the inserts. http://www.eng.uah.edu/~stevec/Cutting Tool Nomenclature.htm

Yet, I don't know if the holders are that specific to where one that fits a 432 won't fit a 433. My other thought is if the holder is designed to retain triangular inserts, then any cutting edge radius should fit.....right?

thanks,

Mark

I do not know a lot about what inserts will fit in what holder. I do know that the different holders often have small but important differences, such as the angle or having a chip breaker. While many holders will mount a variety of inserts, there may be more to them than just fitting. Most of my tool holders seem to have a label listing just 1 or 2 inserts. If the radius is the only variable between two inserts then they will likely fit. You may need to post in the "general" section to get a better response.

Yes, the only thing that matters is the insert geometry (shape) & IC (inscribed circle).

Awesome, thanks.
