Thread: Insert Identification System

Sometime ago someone was asking about carbide inserts, have found a reference for anyone who wants to use it.

Insert Identification System (ANSI)

Thanks. That one is good – simple and clear.


There are several of them on the net that I have saved. Some also have images.

From what I have seen, the imperial inserts use one system, and the metric ones a different 'un?
(Imperial uses a poorly explained "inscribed circle" size thing)


Here is a simple metric one:

and another from Engineer's Black Book I like:

I too have that bible, and find it very handy. I placed this here for the Members that don't have access to the bible.
