ISO Tooling

ISO Carbide Inserts

Great Lakes Carbide Supply delivers a full spectrum of ISO carbide inserts engineered for production environments that demand precision, repeatability, and uptime. From turning and milling to threading and holemaking, our catalog is built around performance — not promises.


The Language of ISO Tooling

ISO standards unify the global machining world. They help ensure that a tool ordered in Canada fits a holder in Germany and cuts steel in Texas.

We supply ISO-compliant tooling across all major disciplines:

  • Turning inserts (CNMG, DNMG, TNMG, VNMG, SNMG, etc.)
  • Milling inserts & cutters
  • Threading inserts
  • Grooving & parting systems
  • Drilling & holemaking tools
  • Toolholders & modular systems

  • Heavy roughing
