Free ISO 1832 insert decoder
Type any designation — including ones not yet in our database — and get the eight-position breakdown, physical dimensions and typical uses. Works fully in the browser; embeddable on engineering sites and forums.
How InsertBase works
Geometry from the standard
Shape, clearance, tolerance, inscribed circle, thickness and nose radius are decoded deterministically from ISO 1832 — no catalogue required and no guessed values.
Brand data with citations
Ordering codes, chipbreakers, CVD/PVD coatings and carbide grades are extracted from official catalogues; every row carries its source, version and extraction date.
Safe substitution levels
FULL matches geometry and grade band; PARTIAL matches geometry with different chipbreaker/grade; VERIFY asks you to confirm the target catalogue before ordering.
Need verified specs or sourcing for an insert?
Send the ISO code (or a brand ordering number) and your workpiece material. We reply within one business day with the verified specification and original + equivalent grade options — no obligation.
