Description

The Carmex Grooving Insert with snap-ring retention and rounded edges is engineered for precise, secure grooving in demanding machining environments. It’s designed for professionals who demand stable inserts, clean groove profiles, and long tool life.

  • Snap-Ring Retention: Secure seating that minimizes insert movement during cutting, boosting stability and accuracy.
  • Rounded Edge Geometry: Chamfered, rounded edges enable smooth groove cuts and reduce chip buildup while improving evacuation.
  • BXC Coating: Advanced coating delivers enhanced wear resistance, better heat tolerance, and improved lubricity for high-speed cutting.
  • Grooving-Specific Design: Optimized geometry and coating purpose-built for reliable grooving performance across varying conditions.
  • Size: 16IR
  • Edge Radius: ELR1.00
  • Coating: BXC

With the combination of secure snap-ring seating, rounded-edge geometry, and the durable BXC coating, this insert supports cleaner grooves, tighter dimensional control, and longer tool life. The design reduces insert movement and chipping issues, enabling higher productivity and consistent surface finishes across parts. Ideal for precision grooving tasks where chip control and surface quality are critical to achieving reliable, repeatable results.
