Description

Carmex Grooving Insert with Straight Sharp Edges and BXC coating is designed for professionals who need precise, repeatable grooves in steel, stainless steel, and other common metals. Built for reliability, it combines a razor-sharp edge geometry with a durable coating to deliver clean grooves and long tool life.

  • Edge geometry: Straight, sharp cutting edges that produce clean groove walls and tight tolerances for consistent results.
  • BXC coating: A wear- and heat-resistant coating that reduces friction, extending tool life and maintaining performance under demanding cutting conditions.
  • Compatibility: Designed to fit a wide range of grooving holders for flexible, adaptable setups across different machines.
  • Substrate: Carbide insert delivers rigidity and dependable performance under cutting loads common in grooving operations.
  • Chip control & surface finish: Optimized geometry offers excellent chip control, helping achieve smooth surfaces and reduced secondary finishing.
  • Code/size: 16IR/EL2.25BXC provides a standardized, interchangeable option for common grooving applications.

This insert supports efficient, repeatable grooving workflows, helping you achieve precise groove dimensions with fewer passes and less tool wear. Ideal for production environments and job shops that prioritize accuracy, surface quality, and tool life across steel, stainless steel, and other materials. Its robust design and coating work together to deliver dependable performance, so you can maintain steady throughput and consistent part quality from run to run.
