Carmex Small Indexable Carbide Grooving Insert -T10 - 13.1mm Min Bore - 2mm Width

The Carmex Small Indexable Carbide Grooving Insert is a compact, high-precision cutting solution designed to form grooves in tight bores with reliable consistency. Built for professional machining, it handles stainless steels, cast iron, titanium, non‑ferrous metals, and most high‑temperature alloys with durable wear resistance.

• Minimum bore compatibility: suitable for internal grooving with a minimum bore diameter of 9.4 mm (0.37 in).
• Size and geometry: T10 indexable carbide insert with a 2 mm width, optimized for precise groove profiles in constrained spaces.
• Coating technology: BLU PVD triple‑layer coating on a sub‑micron carbide substrate for improved wear resistance and heat management.
• Material coverage: engineered for stainless steels, cast iron, titanium, non‑ferrous metals, and most high‑temperature alloys (M10–M20, K05–K20, N10–N20, S10–S20).
• Corner radius: features a 0.1 mm corner radius (R0.1) to promote controlled chip formation and smoother cuts.
• Indexable design: replaceable carbide insert for reduced tool cost and easy setup in groove‑cutting operations.

With its BLU PVD coating and sub‑micron carbide structure, this insert delivers stable cutting forces, reduced friction, and extended wear life when grooving hard metals. The compact profile enables precise groove walls and consistent depths in small bore applications, while the R0.1 radius helps minimize vibration and chatter. This makes it a dependable choice for shops performing internal grooves in stainless steel, cast iron, titanium, and high‑temperature alloys, providing repeatable results and lower tool‑change frequency.
