FoR (Front or Rear) Inverted Parting Toolholder includes a fine, high-strength Crobalt parting tool. Operates with blade held upside down. Use in front or rear tool post. Model specifically set for tool posts on 16mm Diamond Toolholder.

• Inverted blade design significantly reduces chance of jam-up and blade breakage
• Minimal side overhang and no front overhang help maximize rigidity
• Cutting takes place on underside. Swarf tends to fall out of groove rather than pile up on top of cutting edge
• Lack of swarf on top of blade means coolant is free to get right in to cutting edge
• Horizontal mounting of blade further reduces chance of blade pulling itself into cut and is especially advantageous when turning brass and bronze.
• Simple to resharpen--only front face has to be ground.
