    Here's a pic of the tech data sheet that came with an Hitachi milling cutter I want to use. It needs three identical tungsten carbide "inserts" aka cutters, blades. There are thousands of different types of these inserts, each designated by a 4-letter code. I know only the first letter of the code for the proper insert, "c", which specifies an insert with an 80-degree rhombic shape.

    I'm wondering if the 4-digit code is spelled out somewhere in the text on this page? The 50mm model I have is pictured in the lower left drawing.

    Anyone see a 4-letter code beginning with "C" in the text?

    I think the C is likely for carbide. All that matters is the dimensions for your slot. Get the four sided ones so you can rotate to a fresh edge when they're dulled.

    Never seen that type before. So you actually need a hole in the center of the cutters. That's messed up.

    Lots of 'em are like that, here's our collection of orphaned inserts, ones that got separated from their orig packaging with the important info on it.
