CMT Vertical Milling

Grooving

Family Overview

Vertical milling indexable inserts and tool holders that support a variety of threads, grooves, chamfers, and more.

Features:

  • Ground profile inserts for high precision and excellent performance
  • Working at high machining parameters, with high surface quality
  • Solid and accurate clamping method enables full repeatability
  • Same insert can be used for both right-hand and left-hand threads

The following product lines can used for grooving:

MODULAR TOOL HOLDERS (SRCM)

A modular tooling system that enables the customer to conveniently use a wide set of tools, optimized for various applications. This allows for a substantial reduction of tool inventory, and eliminates the need for custom tools.

Every modular CMT tool can be used with an extension from the Carmex Deep Reach family, or with common steel/carbide extensions by other manufacturers. The holders accept standard CMT inserts (types C25 or S35).

Features:

  • Rigid tool assembly enables the cutting depth to be increased without compromising stability
  • Internal Coolant
