Brazed Turning Tool ISO9 - Pafana (Poland)
The Pafana ISO9 is a brazed carbide turning tool for lathe work, with a tungsten carbide tip brazed onto a steel shank in the ISO9 profile. Pafana is a Polish manufacturer of carbide brazed tooling, and SAN Tools stocks the ISO9 range across our Dubai Al Quoz, Sharjah and Ajman branches for turners and machine shops throughout the UAE.
Key features
- Brazed carbide tip — a solid carbide insert is brazed onto the steel tool body, giving a rigid, one-piece turning tool that can be reground as it wears.
- ISO9 tool profile — a standard ISO shape used for general turning operations on centre lathes.
- Multiple carbide grades — available in K20, P30 and P40 carbide grades to suit different workpiece materials.
- Right and left-hand versions — supplied in both right-hand and left-hand cutting directions for different turning setups.
- Range of body sizes — offered in shank sizes from 6x6mm up to 25x25mm to suit lathes of different capacity.
Applications
- General external turning on centre lathes
- Facing, roughing and profiling operations on steel and cast iron
- Toolroom and production turning where a re-grindable, brazed tool is preferred over indexable inserts
- Use on manual and conventional centre lathes fitted with a standard tool post

How to choose
- Match the body size to your lathe's tool post opening — a larger shank gives more rigidity for heavier cuts.
- Choose the carbide grade for the material: P-grades generally suit steel, K-grades suit cast iron and non-ferrous materials.
- Select right or left-hand depending on the direction of cut required and whether you are turning towards or away from the chuck.
- Keep spare tools of the same profile on hand for regrinding, since brazed tools can be reground and reused multiple times.
Frequently asked questions
What is a brazed turning tool?
It is a lathe tool where a carbide cutting tip is brazed permanently onto a steel shank, forming a solid, one-piece tool that can be reground to restore the cutting edge as it wears.
What is the difference between K20, P30 and P40 grades?
These are ISO carbide grade classifications. P-grades are generally used on steel and long-chipping materials, while K-grades are generally used on cast iron and short-chipping, non-ferrous materials; the right choice depends on the material being turned.
