i have several packs of the inserts pictured below but no tooling for them. Anyone know how to determine what turning tools I need to use the inserts?

That’s a turning insert for a lathe. Oh you already know that.

Try calling msc, they are Sandvik distributors and could guide you

Hey John - just Google "dcmt insert holder". Lots of options out there. You'll need to make sure the insert holder will work with whatever lathe setup you're using.

Also, here's a handy chart to decode the insert designations: http://www.carbidedepot.com/formulas-insert-d.htm

The really nice thing about standard inserts is that many companies make inserts and holders with the same standardized specifications, so you can shop around for a good deal.
