Left Hand Laydown Threading Bar Question

[mksj]

Purchased my inserts from Zoro's when they were a bit cheaper, their prices have gone up significantly. Least expensive option is to purchase directly from Carmex, see links below. I also have some Mitsubishi MMT16IRAG60-S VP15TF 16IR AG60 threading inserts but haven't used those yet.

The Carmex inserts I am using do not have the B chip breaker, they come w/wo this specification. I probably would go with a chip breaker if reordering. You could also speak to Carmex technical if you have specific questions about which insert they recommend for your application.

Thank You! Thank You! Glad you sent Travers link. Went to MSC and they list a dozen different inserts under 16 IR B AG60 BMA. Have to figure out what they are. MSC is $27 and Travers is $17. I will get a Travers order up in the next couple of days. I wondered this morning if you were using the BMA grade. It has come up before in other sources.

Thank you again! Charles

P.S. You do know that you can buy Carmex inserts cheaper on Ebay from China? 10 for #19 instead of 1 for $17.
Just Kidding!!!
