When I bought my lathe the guy included a tool box that had a tool holder and one insert in it. I went out on some web sites and it became obvious to me that I know NOTHING about the designations and specs for these things. The insert is triangular and held in position with a slight negative rake. The sides are square and have no clearance angle giving it 6 usable points. It is about .8 inches on each side, .185 thick and has a hole in the center of it. The holder has a pin through that hold and the pin is .19 inch. Then a small clamp holds it in place on top.
The insert is well used and I would like to find a HSS and carbide insert to fit it, but I am clueless. ???
Any clues out there?
