Value Collection T33AD Indexable Chipbreaker 3/8 in Triangle

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION T33AD is a triangle-style chipbreaker insert designed for use with indexable cutting tools in metal machining applications. Carrying chipbreaker code T, this carbide component measures 3/8 inch (0.375 inches) inscribed circle and is 0.094 inches thick with an effective width of 0.071 inches. It supports both left-hand and right-hand cutting directions, making it adaptable across a range of indexable toolholders. Machinists and tool crib technicians working in turning, boring, or facing operations rely on chipbreakers like this to control chip flow and protect the cutting edge during continuous cuts.

This chipbreaker is suited for use in production machining environments where indexable insert tooling is standard. It fits triangle insert seats with a 3/8 inch inscribed circle and is compatible with holders designed for that insert geometry. The T chipbreaker code designation indicates the specific chip-control geometry ground into the face of this carbide piece. It is sold individually per package, with a minimum order quantity of 5 units, making it appropriate for shops stocking replacement hardware for multiple tools on the floor.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. The machine spindle must be fully stopped and the tool secured before removing or seating the chipbreaker. Use the appropriate torque wrench and insert screw specified by the toolholder manufacturer when clamping the insert assembly. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping hardware for wear before reinstalling.
