Valenite Cutter inserts

[Charley Davidson]

My buddy (Benny) gave me a Valenite cutter that takes 2 inserts PG 100308 N-
Can't seem to be able to find the inserts anywhere. From a video I seen of the cutter in use it seems to be a very versatile tool but maybe obsolete. Anybody know anything about this or where to find the inserts? They are a trapezoid shape

Charlie,
Here is a link to the Valenite reference library. It sets out several different inserts by there intended use and purpose. Hope this helps. I have read several threads on valenite and the concensus of opinion is valenite is notorious for changing a number and never refering to the original again. It is very easy therefore to get lost in carbide insert land. See if this wont help, maybe it will get you going again.
