Indexable turning tools, or lathe tools, use a combination of an indexable toolholder and replaceable indexable inserts to maximize production efficiency. Different from solid turning tools that must be removed and sharpened after several uses, indexable turning allows you to easily exchange or rotate the insert inside the toolholder after the tip has dulled.

Pacific Industrial Supply can supply you with the best tools for your application needs. We offer a variety of high quality indexable boring bars, part & grooving tools, profiling tools, and inserts—all available to you at cost-effective values. If you have any questions regarding our product selection, speak to one of our sales experts or give us a call at (714) 540-7122.

Benefits of Indexable Cutting Tools for Turning Operations

While indexable turning tools tend to come with higher upfront costs compared to solid carbide options, they offer a flexible advantage. Replaceable inserts give you the ability to quickly renew the cutting edge without having to pause production to sharpen the tool, leading to increased efficiency in the long run. Other benefits of indexable turning tools include:
  • Multiple cutting edges allow for longer tool life
  • Carbide Inserts have high wear and temperature resistance for faster speeds and feeds.
  • Manufactured in common shapes for more operational versatility
  • Compatible with tight tolerances and complex geometries

Indexable Turning Toolholders & Indexable Inserts

Pacific Industrial Supply maintains a large inventory of indexable turning tools—each manufactured from premium carbide to provide a quality finish to your workpiece. If you are unsure which tool is best suited to your application needs, contact us, and we will assist you.

Indexable Boring Bars

Boring bars are single point cutting tools that are used for finishing the inside of dilled or cast holes. Indexable boring bars are ideal for high-volume production runs as well as applications that require high feed rates and difficult-to-machine materials.

Indexable Parting & Grooving Tools

Indexable parting and grooving tools are used for parting-off components or making long, narrow grooves in a workpiece. Our indexable parting and grooving tools are made from high quality carbide to resist tool breakage and chipping during turning operations.   

Indexable Profiling Tools

Indexable profiling tools allow you to machine complex grooves in difficult-to-access areas. These tools are an ideal choice when working with hard-to-machine materials and in applications where accuracy is essential, such as engine components used in the aerospace industry.

Indexable Turning Inserts

Indexable turning inserts are replaceable cutting tips that can be easily exchanged or rotated in the toolholder without having to alter the tool’s geometry. We offer indexable turning inserts in a variety of shapes, sizes, and thicknesses to work with all your lathe machining applications.
