Bent Brazed Turning Tool ISO2 - Pafana (Poland) UAE
The Pafana ISO2 is a bent brazed carbide turning tool for lathe work, with a tungsten carbide tip brazed onto a bent steel shank in the ISO2 profile. Pafana is a Polish manufacturer of carbide brazed tooling, and SAN Tools stocks the ISO2 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 a bent steel tool body, giving a rigid, one-piece turning tool that can be reground as it wears.
- ISO2 bent-shank profile — a standard ISO bent-tool shape used for turning and facing operations where the bent shank gives extra clearance.
- 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 10x10mm up to 32x32mm to suit lathes of different capacity.
Applications
- General and facing turning on centre lathes where the bent shank profile gives improved tool clearance
- 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.
- Consider the bent-shank ISO2 profile where you need extra clearance around chucks, faceplates or shoulders compared with a straight-shank tool.
Frequently asked questions
What is the benefit of a bent-shank (ISO2) turning tool?
The bent shank gives the cutting tip extra clearance around chucks, faceplates and shoulders, making it useful for facing and turning close to obstructions that a straight-shank tool cannot easily reach.
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.
