The newly developed face grooving system can be used as either a single- or twin-cutter grooving tool for diameter ranges from 53 to 3,000 mm. Grooving depth up to 12 mm can be achieved, with widths from 2 to 9.5 mm.
Using the boring tools as twin cutters and with a simultaneous adjustment in radius and length allows the feed rate to be increased, while using the cutters in diameter offset operation enables a groove width of up to 12 mm. The system also allows both inside and outside diameters to be adjusted separately. ITC says that both cutting edges can be set easily to the same length if required.
