Grooving Tools

PR20 Series

Currently available for Kyocera’s popular GBA external and SIGE internal grooving systems, the new PR20 Series ensures precision and longevity in every cut. The innovative multi-layered structure of MEGACOAT NANO EX not only increases the durability of the inserts but also maintains superior cutting performance throughout extended use. By optimizing the balance between hardness and toughness, these new grades set a new standard across a variety of grooving operations, helping machinists achieve consistent, high- quality results while reducing tool changeovers and downtime.

Walter Cut G1111-P/GX24 AF5

Axial Grooving System Provides Reliability, Longer Insert Life

The system handles axial grooves from dia. 2.362-in (60 mm), cutting depths up to 1.299-in (33 mm), with insert width of 0.197-in (5 mm). The new system delivers maximum productivity and cutting parameters due to optimal cooling, strength and controlled chip breaking, along with high cost-efficiency due to two cutting edges. Axial grooving is effective when the groove depth is 1.5 times greater than the groove width, but to be successful axial grooving requires dedicated tooling and a dedicated chip control insert.
