Grooving Tools
Insert clamping stays rigid at depth, which is exactly where grooving normally fails. Blades, cartridges and monoblock holders share one insert seat, so you are not carrying three separate inventories.
- Steel
- Stainless steel
- Cast iron
- Non-ferrous
- Superalloys & titanium
- Hardened materials
Why this range
- Widths 0.5 – 8 mm, depths to 40 mm
- External, internal, face and circlip grooves
- One insert seat shared across holder types
