Hertel 8000184 Carbide Shim 3/8 Inch External Turning Skwp

Product Description

The HERTEL 8000184 is a carbide shim designed for indexable tooling systems used in external turning applications. This SKWP-style shim seats beneath the cutting insert in the tool holder pocket, providing a stable, repeatable seating surface that protects the holder body from insert-related wear and impact loading. At 1/8 inch thick and with a 3/8 inch inscribed circle, it is sized for trigon-style inserts running a negative rake, neutral cut geometry. Machinists and toolroom technicians working with indexable turning tools rely on shims like this one to extend tool holder service life and maintain consistent insert positioning across indexing cycles.

This shim is suited for external turning operations in both production and job-shop environments. It is intended for use with trigon-style indexable inserts in negative rake configurations. The neutral cutting direction makes it appropriate for a range of general-purpose turning passes. The HERTEL 8000184 is confirmed compatible with the A16RPTFNR11 complete tool holder. It ships in a package quantity of one, with a minimum order quantity of five units.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians during indexable insert changes or tool holder maintenance. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before servicing any tooling components. Ensure the shim seat and holder pocket are clean and free of chips or debris before seating the shim. Follow the tool holder manufacturer torque specifications for the insert clamping screw.
