Designated 64T, the precision sintered inserts are available with a grooving width of up to 3.29 mm, with geometry ‘.00’. Grooving depths up to 3.5 mm is possible and maximum workpiece diameter is 65 mm.
As a neutral grooving insert, the 64T can be used on either a left- or right-hand holder measuring 16 by 16 mm, 20 by 20 mm or 25 by 25 mm and with internal cooling. A clamping screw system holds the insert accurately in the pocket, ensuring rigidity and repeatability.
EG55 high performance coating considerably improves tool life and makes the grooving insert the perfect all-round choice for machining most types of steel as well as a wide range of other materials.
Application areas being promoted initially are grooving and parting-off for widths of 1.0 and 1.5 mm, turning circlip grooves from 0.57 to 3.29 mm wide, and grooving using full radius inserts with radii of 0.5/0.6/0.8/1.25 /1.5 mm.
