Hello, been a while since I've been on here, but I need some help.

I have a kennametal carbide boring bar, C08-STUNR2 is the only identification on it

Does anyone know what insert it uses? I cant find anything from kennametal or Google really.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
 
Thanks darkzero. Doeant seem like a very popular insert, old obviously. I found some on ebay to give them a shot. Wonder if a tcmt would work at all.
 
TCMT will probably not work, the hole diameter is .173 and uses a chamfered edge to lock it in with the retaining screw. The T221 is a 0.095" and uses a flat head retaining screw. Slight differences in thickness and there may be a difference in the edge relief angle, the T221 is a positive rake the TCMT is a neutral rake. This will effect cutting clearance. Might be possible to use a TPMT221 but you would need a different insert retaining screw. T221P inserts are pretty inexpensive on eBay, examples below:
