Description
The Proxxon Tungsten Carbide Replacement Tips (No. 24557) are a 10-piece set of disposable tungsten carbide turning inserts for the Proxxon Cutter Set with Tungsten Carbide Inserts (No. 24555), compatible with the PD 250/E and PD 400 lathes. When the cutting edges of the inserts in the No. 24555 cutter set are worn, these replacement tips restore full cutting performance without replacing the entire holder set.
Disposable insert tooling offers a significant advantage over HSS tooling for lathe work — when an edge is worn, the insert is indexed or replaced rather than reground, maintaining consistent geometry and saving setup time. Tungsten carbide inserts outlast HSS in hard materials and maintain sharper edges at higher cutting speeds.
