Welcome to Lathe Inserts .com.

The purpose of this sight is to offer an easy, accurate insert selection process and incredible cost savings on high performance lathe inserts. Our mission is to save you 40-80% on the lathe inserts you use the most.

Let's be honest, this year will be a tough one for many job shops around the country. Being competitive is the key so it only makes sense to look hard at your tooling costs. Wouldn't it be nice to save $40.00 or even $60.00 per pack of inserts? Especially if those inserts outperformed the best from Kennametal, Iscar, or Sandvik? The products you see here offer an incredible combination of performance and value. We have focused on a selection of the most commonly used geometries but please check back often, new products are added every week.

Of special note is the "NC3120-HM" grade and chip breaker combination. This duo quickly proved itself over and over in heads-up tests against the best from industry giants. It's a wonderfully tough substrate coated with thick, polished black aluminum oxide for exceptional heat and wear resistance. This contender sent Kennametal and Seco back to the drawing board and is the reason you are seeing new products such as "Duratomic" and "Beyond". Sign up for some free samples and see what you've been missing.
