It supports triangular inserts with a 0.5-inch inscribed circle and features a positive rake geometry. At 0.125 inches thick, this PTP-series shim provides a stable seating surface that protects the tool holder pocket from insert contact wear and helps maintain precise insert positioning during cutting operations. It is intended for machinists and tool crib technicians working with indexable turning, boring, or milling tooling systems that require shim replacement or initial setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis shim is used in indexable tooling assemblies where a triangular insert with a 0.5-inch inscribed circle is seated in a positive-rake holder. It fits into the insert pocket between the holder body and the cutting insert, absorbing the cutting forces that would otherwise damage the holder seat. Typical applications include production turning and general-purpose machining operations in shop environments where indexable tooling is standard practice. Replacement shims like the PTP-4 are a routine consumable in any shop running high-volume indexable tooling programs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for hardness and wear resistance in the insert pocket\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with triangular indexable inserts at 0.5-inch inscribed circle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePositive rake geometry matches positive-rake toolholder configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.125-inch thickness provides consistent insert seating height\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePTP series designation for straightforward cross-reference and replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIndustry standard number PTP-4 for easy identification and ordering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement shim for indexable toolholders accepting triangular inserts with a 0.5-inch inscribed circle in positive-rake configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by qualified machinists or tool crib personnel during toolholder maintenance or insert changeover. Ensure the toolholder is removed from the machine spindle or turret and all machine power is off before servicing the insert pocket. Clean the pocket seat thoroughly before seating the shim to prevent rocking or misalignment. Follow the toolholder manufacturer's torque specifications for the clamp screw when reassembling the insert and clamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShim Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: PTP\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Insert Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Triangle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInscribed Circle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.125 inches (1\/8 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake\u003c\/strong\u003e: Positive\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: PTP\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndustry Standard Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: PTP-4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112800\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: PTP-4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68388746199346,"sku":"PTP-4","price":52.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a211fbd24b0d04745cd4f7d88637b790.jpg?v=1793904747","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-ptp-4-indexable-shim-0-5-inch-triangle-insert","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
