Kennametal insert shims

[Brad93]

i have two kennametal tools which are missing shims under the insert.

does anyone know the best place to source them?

One is a VN (long diamond) style tool and the other RC button type.

I'm sure I got a Kennametal spare bit from msc. But you might need the part number. Can you find the tool on the Kennametal site and see if it lists spares?

MSc, your local engineers store etc etc
Personal I go on their website and search by part number, quicker than posting a thread on here

i did try that before coming on here. I can see it says there is a shim for the tool on their website, but there is no part number and i cannot click it
