A base code alone does not prove that every suffix, chipbreaker, grade, coating or tool-system combination exists. Compatibility must be confirmed from the exact catalog model or an approved product match.

Use the Carbide Insert Identification Guide to review code fields. A drawing or technical file may also be sent through Custom Cutting Tools for feasibility review.

Send the complete insert and tool-system information for product and compatibility review.
