Grooving Tools

Guhring's System 222 for grooving and parting-off

Guhring Inc. highlights the features of its System 222 (two cutting edges, 22 mm length) for grooving and parting-off in this brief video. Carbide inserts have chipbreaker and cutting geometries pressed into them during sintering for maximum consistency. Left-hand, right-hand and neutral insert designs provide optimal productivity. Square shank and parting blade toolholders are available with or without coolant through. 

TungCut Multifunctional Grooving System

TungCut Multifunctional Grooving System Offers 1.2 mm-Wide (.047″-Wide) Grooving Insert
For job shops that are mass-producing small parts with Swiss lathes, minimizing material waste in the part-off process can be an extremely effective solution for cost savings. The 1.2 mm-wide (.047″-wide) grooving inserts can reduce the material waste produced by parting-off by up to 40% when compared with using 2.0 mm-wide (.079″-wide) insert. This translates to, after 2,500 cuts, the saving of a 2,000 mm-long (78.74″ long) bar stock. 

CoroCut QI

CoroCut QI Precise Machining for Smaller Diameters 
CoroCut QI is divided into internal grooving and face grooving application areas, and is an upgrade of the T-max Q-Cut® 151.3 program. The improved design allows for greater chip control, a 10% productivity increase, 20% improved tool life aided by tighter edge-rounding tolerances and internal coolant for both internal and face grooving tools.

BoreMeister Expanded

BoreMeister Expanded With Additional PSC Toolholders and Reducer Sleeves
The added anti-vibration boring bars with C6 PCS machine side connection are suitable for up to 9xD boring depths, allowing direct assembly on the machine spindle or turret without the need for adapters. The boring bars can also minimize chatter as an integrated vibration damper suppresses unwanted vibrations during machining. 

Feed the Speed with TungFeed-Blade

Tungaloy’s TungFeed-Blade is an extremely rigid modular blade series for grooving and parting applications. TungFeed-Blade consists of a triangular CHGP style modular blade with three insert pockets which holds a CHTBR/L robust style tool block. Intended for high feed grooving and parting, the TungFeed-Blade system extends insert life, improves surface finish, and part straightness, while significantly reducing cycle time.

EH Geometry

Parting-Off Geometry For High Feed Rates
The stable cutting edge enables feed rates in the range of f = 0.25-0.4 mm/rev, during grooving and parting-off, which results in reduced machining time across multiple operations. Reliable chip evacuation and control is ensured by a special chip formation. High feed rates require a stable machine  when grooving and parting-off, as well as secure clamping of the workpiece. Starting from a feed rate of 0.3 mm/rev (0.012”/rev), HORN recommends reducing the infeed for the first 3—4 mm (0.118”- 0.157”) during grooving and parting-off.

TungCut Grooving Inserts

Grades, Geometries Added to TungCut Line
Two new grades have been added to TungCut to enhance its capacity in exotic materials: AH8005 insert grade, featuring strong coating adherence to its carbide substrate, eliminates notch wear that typically occurs during the machining of heat-resistant superalloys (HRSAs). New geometries include DGS inserts with 0.05 mm and 0.10 mm (.0002″ and .0004″) corner radii. These sharp cornered inserts allow lighter cutting and precision grooving/ parting-off of small parts advantageous in Swiss machine applications.

Secomax CW100 Ceramic Insert Grades

CW100 Grade Expansion Encompasses Four New Round Insert Formats
The CW100 grade expansion encompasses four new round insert formats with two geometries, E-01020 and T-01020, and four grooving insert geometries with widths of 3.175 mm (0.125”), 6.35 mm (0.25”) and 7.925 mm (0.312”). An aluminium-oxide-based grade with silicon-carbide whiskers (Al2O3-SiC), the SecomaxTM CW100 grade not only boosts machining speeds in advanced HRSA materials, but it ensures stable and predictable tool life for the lowest possible cost per part thanks to the silicon-carbide whiskers, which use optimized micro geometries for the utmost in ceramic wear resistance and strength.
