Search for the number on the shank. You see that it is a shank for GAD? (last letter varies) endpieces, which are part of Iscar's Cut Grip system. 'iscar cut grip insert' will then find the inserts.
I think I might have a couple of those let me go and check... ...I got one that size. One end is used (but good) the other is unused. If you want it I will pop it in an envelope.
@Agroshield I spent the best part of an hour on google before coming here to ask the question the question. As with all insert tooling without an exact code it gets very hard (for a layman) to find anything out, especially if it is a discontinued product I couldn't even find an image of these tips, maybe i can't see the wood for the trees ?? @Pete. Fabulous offer will drop you a message
Sorry if the reply was not quite what you wanted. Perhaps I should have been less brief. I reached a slight dead end after I did everything posted above as there were lots of promising references on Iscar's own website but I kept getting privacy errors and the pages would not load. I thought maybe if you tried the same, you might not have the errors. Anyway, try here for some actual insert codes: https://www.zoro.co.uk/shop/parting...ting-and-grooving-inserts-grade-ic808/f/73927 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10-Iscar...00E-0-80-IC656-GIP5-00E-5mm-5-0-/123769681154 https://www.mscdirect.com/industrialtools/iscar-gip-inserts.html
@Agroshield the images on the MSC site look like the money (https://www.mscdirect.com/product/details/08654303) Thankyou for your time an effort
Ooh look what just turned up. First question: do the inserts just press in? The tool looks like it will only lever them back out.
And I'm guessing I need coolant like Pete said you do with HSS? Can you tell I'm a bit scared to immediately crack a brand new insert.
I thwack them with a nylon mallet. You can use them dry but a bit of oil or coolant definitely is advisable, i like to "flood" it with a squeeze bottle The great thing about most carbide parting inserts is that the geometry creates a chip narrower than the groove which aids hugely in chip evacuation. The iscar inserts I have are incredibly strong....I'm amazed at how they've survived my hand fistedness.
