What Insert For Turning Holder?

[dclevinger]

Hey guys. I have an old Komet SWJCR 8-01 holder and would like to get inserts for it so I can use it. I know it is no longer in production but does anyone have an idea of what size insert I need. I am thinking it is a WNMG 331 or 332. The holder is at home so I can't verify but I believe it is 1/2" square shaft if that helps. TIA

Post up a pic when you can. I have a couple of komet tool holders. But be a where there inserts aren't cheap. Mine run $28.00 each insert.

Ok, after looking at it again, it is not a WNMG. Below is a pic of the holder and the insert that was in it.
Insert specs
Inscribed circle-3/8"
Thickness-.125"
Rake-7degrees
Small hole dia-.147"

There is zero rake on the holder which is 1/2" square.

Ok I just went and looked. I have the same tool. my inserts are. W00 34120.0460. It is a little different style than you show but the same holder.
