The solid carbide inserts feature round and square shapes, as well as an angle-grip design. There are also 26 configurations of inserts offered, with serration patterns of fine, extra-fine, four-point for the round and square units, and fine, four-point, straight and angular for the angle grip. Round and square grippers range from 3/8" to ½" thick. Angle face inserts are 3/8" thick. Round inserts are from 5/16" to ¾" diameter while square grippers measure ½" square. The angle grip inserts are 9/16" or 10-mm wide. All grippers measure 0.65" in height. The insert-style grippers provide quick change-over and replacement if the application requires flexibility, the company says.
