Hi All,
I have been spending sometime looking for places to buy carbide inserts. The size I am looking for is DCMT 21.51. All the main places on the net have them like MSC, McMaster Carr, but I was just wondering if anyone knew of any place on the net or that I can mail order them from, that might be a little cheaper then the main ones. I have been watching eBay for them too but never seem to win the auctions. Maybe I'm just too cheap. Thanks for your help. Take care...

| Hi Craig We use diamond shape inserts DNMG and I have a tool holder that is for VNMG they have there use but I don't like paying for a insert with 4 corners and only using 2. I guess the insert I like best is TNMG, 6 corners and you use them all with that thougt in mind how about TCMT 21.51 Enco has them U.S. made for full package price of $5.85 for 10 See how that compare's to what your paying.

Hi Dave,
Thanks for the Enco tip. I went to their website and checked out their price. Looks real good, or at least a little cheaper then some of the other places I have looked. Take care and thanks again...

Hi Craig,
I am really enjoying the site. WOW.
Iscar, Kennametal, valmet, those are some I use on the CNCs. I do get stuff from KBC tools in Missisauga Ontario. 1 888 522 8665. I've dealt with them for 15 years and always get what I pay for. I think MSC in the stated is similar, but KBC does only tooling and machines, so theyt're on the ball.
I once got a pail full of inserts from a CNC shop that were used. I sorted them out, and I haven't seen the end of the CNMGs yet! I think that they run a fixed number of parts per edge, as opposed to how I do it, by running them till they quit...
