Funny . When I look at the bar and look at the inserts , it looks like it uses NT2R inserts . But as usual , I may have my rights and lefts mixed up or my box is marked wrong .

Checked all my tooling , that bar does take an R full insert . That's the same hand bar I lent you isn't it ? It may only make a difference in the smaller pitch inserts now that I think about it .

This reminds me of IR and ER tooling. Confusing.Funny . When I look at the bar and look at the inserts , it looks like it uses NT2R inserts . But as usual , I may have my rights and lefts mixed up or my box is marked wrong .
The insert you showed looks like it will fit.
Yes, this bar is the same handedness as the one you lent me. Labeled as NEL2, which should be left hand. Cuts on far side of internal bore.

Can you show a picture of them? Boring or threading inserts can be confusing, or at least they are confusing to me. Since this is a LH bar, and it is for internal threading, I think it takes RH inserts. With the business end of the insert facing right, the notch will be like \.
