Grooving Tools

Walter has added Walter Capto toolholders and insert widths to its Walter Cut MX grooving system. Capto toolholders feature enhanced rigidity and modularity, while the tapered polygonal shape handles both torsional and bending forces with ease. This interface can be used for lathes and turn/mill centers.

Tungaloy is expanding its TungCut series of grooving tools to include new insert and holder options. TungCut’s DTE grooving insert offers a versatile design that allows the insert to be used for grooving and turning in both axial and radial directions.

The Dormer Pramet parting-off and grooving assortment as grown with the additions of a new insert, two new geometries, a grade, blades and tool holder. The new 0.98" GL double-edged insert is available in a variety of widths from 0.08" to 0.236". Targeting long-grooving applications, GL supports 60% capacity over the existing LCMF16 insert.

Walter has added PCD grooving inserts to its Walter Cut GX grooving system, the innovative tool technology for grooving and parting off. These new geometries, straight edge (F1) and full radius (M1) excel at grooving in aluminum and titanium alloys, bringing high cutting speed, longer tool life and fine surface quality to grooving, parting and recessing operations.

Kyocera Precision Tools introduces the new SIGC small internal grooving tool. The SIGC toolholder has a newly developed clamping system providing a firm insert hold made for the most efficient high-precision machining.

Tungaloy is expanding its SNG line of internal grooving tools to include GMR, a new insert geometry that enables effective chip control and evacuation in internal grooving applications.

Tool-Flo presents FloCut, a multifunctional system for both external and internal applications. Its unique locking system yields increased stability, critical for side turning applications.

Tungaloy expands its TetraForce-Cut, a four-edged indexable grooving tool series, to include the new TCL27 style chipbreaker.
