    I got 1 result from google - a spanish site. Not the best start. What chart were you looking at? If it's on line can you link to it?

    hi bryan and pipeclay its a triangle shaped turning tool no shim but a small lip on the Lh side.
    as well as the triangle shape its like one tip of the triangle is cut off.
    bryan the chart is just my black book. infact its very similur to the tool holder pictured on page 134
    its just the lip that throws me and the square end.
    this all came about because i lent my fave rate tool holder.A trigon shaped one. to a mate at work and he has lost it.
    do now im after a replacement one.

    Does the insert fit over a pin on the holder or not?
    It appears it could be something in the TNMG family or possably TPMR if there is no pin.

    OK, the page is called "cutting tools" and the text in blue says...

    Lists withdrawn beacause of continual variation in prices. Call 011 4750-3345 or email [email protected]

    Then the page has the differenct inserts listed by brand.

    Azzrock - It looks like they offer an insert for your tool holder. The brand is "Porta Insertos" which are a Mexican company, however the page in the link is Argentinian. If you want me to write an email for you in spanish in order to get more info and a price, let me know.

    The 'continual variation' they refer to may or may not be due to the rampant inflation that is occurring in Argentina once again. It may be easier to get a price from the Mexicans direct, as at least that way you'll know it wont change much. Also there has to be companies in America that offer the Porta Insertos brand, so perhaps some googling along those lines may help you find what you need.
