Face grooving/small diameter tools

Three new geometries across two new Beyond carbide grades augment Kennametal's range of face grooving inserts and tooling for small diameter internal and external applications.

Available as precision ground and moulded styles in both flat-edge and full-radius face grooving geometries, A4-S inserts milling and turning tools are aimed at face grooving on parts from 16–58 mm (0.630–2.284 inches) in diameter and for groove depths from 12–19 mm (0.47–0.75 inches).

Users can choose from three chipbreaker geometries, aimed at providing longer tool life with more consistent tool wear, faster material-removal rates, and improved chip control across a range of face grooving applications and work materials. GMN inserts provide a stable cutting edge, while GMP and GUP chipbreakers feature positive geometry for reduced cutting forces.

Inserts are coupled with a comprehensive portfolio of modular and systems toolholders, including boring bars for maximum versatility. KM or Capto tooling options provide stable, reliable toolholding in machining aerospace components, pump and engine parts, and general industrial components, among many others.
