The end view is a triangle and when inserted into the boring bar they are a right side up triangle. However they do not have a positive stop like a regular insert. I really like the fact one can get the inserts in HSS or carbide.
OK, thanks. The pictures on their web site don't show a clear image of the business end of the tool, and the bits looked like square stock to me. And they don't have any links to the inserts on the boring bar page either!
I finally found them though. https://www.travers.com/regrindable-bori.../c/297793/
The lack of a positive stop might not be as secure and rigid, but it does give you the benefit of being able to adjust the 'stick out' from the bar when needed. Opposite sides of a coin I suppose.
