Mini Tools

Grooving

Family Overview

A family of vertical inserts and tool holders, designed for long threads – or applications that require an over-hang. They can be used for threading, chamfering, grooving, boring, profiling, and back turning applications. All tools include through-coolant, enabling the cooling fluid to reach the cutting edge efficiently.

Features:

  • Supports diameters starting from 8.0 mm (for some tools)
  • Quick indexing
  • Most profiles of Tiny Tools bars are available

The following product lines can used for grooving:

GROOVING INSERTS

The inserts in this product line were designed for cutting grooves.

Features:

  • Minimum bore diameter from: 9.4 mm / 0.37 inch

Carbide Grade(s):

PVD triple layer coated sub-micron grade for stainless steels, cast iron, titanium, non-ferrous metals, and most high-temperature alloys (M10-M20, K05-K20, N10-N20, S10-S20)

GROOVING INSERTS (CIRCLIP RING GROOVES)

Grooving inserts, designed for the production of circlip rings. The groove widths, and other dimensions of these inserts are specially optimized towards the production of circlip rings (also known as C-clips, snap rings, or shaft retaining rings), based on the DIN 471/472 standard.

Features:

  • Minimum bore diameter: 8.8 mm
  • Nominal groove width: From 0.7 mm

Carbide Grade(s):

PVD triple layer coated sub-micron grade for stainless steels, cast iron, titanium, non-ferrous metals, and most high-temperature alloys (M10-M20, K05-K20, N10-N20, S10-S20)

FULL RADIUS GROOVING INSERTS

A variant of the regular grooving inserts, that produce round (“full radius”) grooves. In addition to the grooving applications, it can also be used for general turning jobs.

Features:

  • Minimum bore diameter from: 8.4 mm / 0.33 inch

Carbide Grade(s):

PVD triple layer coated sub-micron grade for stainless steels, cast iron, titanium, non-ferrous metals, and most high-temperature alloys (M10-M20, K05-K20, N10-N20, S10-S20)
