Hertel H08700973 Indexable Anvil 0.375 Inch Insert

Product Description

The HERTEL H08700973 is an indexable anvil designed to seat and support indexable inserts in turning and boring toolholders. The anvil provides a stable, precision-ground seat that protects the toolholder pocket from cutting forces and impact during metal removal operations. Sized for a 0.375 inch insert inscribed circle with a toolholder insert size code of 16, this anvil is a consumable component that machinists and toolroom technicians replace as part of routine insert changeouts. The -1.5 degree helix angle orientation suits specific pocket geometries where angular seating is required for proper insert presentation to the workpiece.

This anvil is used in CNC turning centers, manual lathes, and boring applications where indexable insert toolholders are employed. It is configured for external right hand and internal left hand cutting orientations, making it applicable to both OD turning and ID boring setups. Replacement of worn or damaged anvils is standard maintenance practice in production machining environments to preserve insert seating accuracy and extend toolholder pocket life.

Key Features

• 0.375 inch insert inscribed circle for size code 16 toolholder pockets
• -1.5 degree helix angle for correct angular insert seating
• Compatible with external right hand and internal left hand cutting orientations
• Protects toolholder pocket from insert-generated impact and cutting loads
• 16 mm nominal length fits standard size code 16 toolholder insert seats

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement anvil for indexable turning and boring toolholders that accept a size code 16 insert with a 0.375 inch inscribed circle in external right hand or internal left hand orientations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians during insert changeout or toolholder maintenance. The machine spindle must be fully stopped and the toolholder removed from the turret or block before servicing the anvil. Inspect the toolholder pocket for damage or debris before seating the replacement anvil. Torque the insert screw only after confirming the anvil is properly seated and flush in the pocket.
