Carbide Inserts for Internal Profiling Carbide Insert Holders


Combine a carbide insert with a compatible internal profiling holder to create a tool that can contour the interior wall of a hollow workpiece. When one edge of the insert dulls, just rotate it in the holder to use another side.
C3 carbide inserts are abrasion resistant and less likely to chip or crack than C6 carbide when cutting aluminum, brass, and bronze.
C6 carbide inserts hold up better than C3 carbide when making cuts in steel and stainless steel.

Quick-Change Lathe Tools and Holders
Reduce tooling setup time—install the holder once and alternate between applications by switching out the bit. Once the holder has been aligned with the centerline of the lathe, the locking system ensures alignment repeatability from tool to tool.
