[Source] Need Help Figuring Out Kennametal Inserts

[astjp2]

I picked up a Kennametal round tool holder RKAN-8P NB2 which is a round 1/2" cutter for a lathe, but I cant figure out what inserts it uses. I am looking at just doing some aluminum and 4340 to make some 1/2" tube benders. I am hoping to use it to make different radius dies so I can bend some .035 stainless tubing. Thanks, Tim

I have enclosed a pic, mine is not modified like the one below....

You need RD8P inserts

On a side note you probably will need to rough in the profile then clean up with that tool
