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...

Craig

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. Dave

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...
