Identifying carbide inserts

Most of your carbide manufacturers have all the insert nomenclature in the front of their catalogs & also have the toolholder & milling cutter designations. All the numbers & letters actually mean something - it's an industry standard. You only need it when you are locating something or trying to cross over something. If your not in the tooling business there is just too much to try & learn.

Many thanks Don, I hav most of the data already, but oddly none of my lists show size, & having bought a number of wrong size inserts on Ebay, I'm beginning to realise how much size counts.

Size does count when it comes down to our tools in this here machinist world of tool holders, ic, thickness, length, ( is this turning anyone on?) hahaha
Try puting a 35 degreee sandvik diamond insert in a kennametal holder
goes in but won't come out, unless you got a big hammer
size does matter
