So I came across an incredible error on pricing on Amazon. I purchased a Mitsubishi 1/2" boring bar for $ 34. Immediately after purchasing it went back up to $180 which seems to be the norm. There were recommendations on what inserts to use with it, which I also purchased from a supplier here in Denver. They are Mitsubishi as well and their website says they should be 3/8" but what I received is 1/2" . Disappointing as these are $14 each! Anyway, before I came to the conclusion that I was sent the wrong inserts, i had to give myself a crash course lesson in the understanding of the coding of inserts. Not gonna lie....still very lost.
I have the formula of the 1st through 10th numbers and what they are supposed to represent. I'm not finding it to be easy to follow. I'm just gonna throw down layman attempt at this maybe we can discuss.
1) insert shape.
T for triangle
2) relief
N for 0
3) tolerance
not sure, seems as if E is the norm
4) clamping system
T one sided with chip breaker
5) size
16 equals 9.525mm (3/8" )
6) thickness
not sure as it didn't come with one...let's say
03 (3.18 mm)
7) comer radius
Again, don't know let's say
04 (.04)n
8) cut edge
since its for threading, let's say
F sharp edges
9) cut direction
R right-hand
10) chip breaker style
don't know, let's say L.P.
what does all that equate to?
TNET160304RLP
Now, nothing like that exists. Can someone help me understand this? If it has value to the convo, my tool is
Mitsubishi MMTIR102-0.60-2.5C
THANK YOU!
