Face grooving with boring tools is generally more efficient than milling with circular interpolation, says the company, especially when manufacturing bores with large diameters. Additionally, whenever a surface for a sealing application is required, there is no other option than to use boring tools with face grooving accessories.
The face grooving system offered by ITC can be used as either a single or twin grooving tool for diameters ranging from 53 to 3,000 mm. The system can accommodate these diameters with a grooving depth up to 12 mm and a width up to 9.5 mm (5 mm with a single cutter).
