German term

Vierkant

German to English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering Tool types
A description of a "tool adapter" ("Werkzeugadapter") for a clamping system includes the phrase

"Vier mechanische Klemmvorrichtungen für *Vierkant*, Posalux, Wendeschneidplatten"

"Vierkant" sounds a bit vague to me, and there is no other useful context or illustration to work from; before I go back to the client, I'd like to check whether anyone thinks there is any option more likely than any other to be relevant in association with the other items described.

I have seen the glossary entries at http://www.proz.com/?sp=mt&eid_s=63618.
Proposed translations (English)

Martin Purdy (asker) Nov 6, 2012:
Thanks, Steve - the only difficulty I'm going to have in that case is how to render "Wendeschneidplatte", which Ernst defines as an "indexable cutter insert". They presumably aren't the same thing, oder?

indexable cutting tool insert

This will be a four-cornered cutting insert for a cutting tool, you can slacken the screw at the end and rotate the bit in order to get a new cutting face in lathe work

The site below has a picture of one. It is the gold tip on the grey tool that is the Vierkant.

Turning Insert Nomenclature

If you have more details on the Vierkant or Wendeschneidplatten, then the following nomenclature might be of general use.

General turning inserts come in variety of shapes and sizes. One thing is important to remember and understand is that every turning insert has a nomenclature associated with it.
