Cutoff and Grooving Carbide Inserts
Combine a holder and carbide insert to perform cutoff and grooving tasks on a lathe.
Neutral inserts have a 0° lead angle for cutting solid workpieces.
Right-hand inserts have an 8° lead angle for cutting hollow workpieces such as pipe and tubing.
C5 carbide holds up better than C2 carbide when making cuts in steel, stainless steel, and cast iron.
Coated inserts last longer and can be run at faster speeds than uncoated inserts.

Indexable Cutoff and Grooving Carbide Inserts
Cut square corner grooves in a workpiece or cut completely through a part. Pair an insert with a compatible holder. When the first cutting edge dulls, flip the insert to use the other edge, giving it twice the life of a standard cutoff and grooving insert.

Indexable Grooving and Profiling Carbide Inserts
The rounded nose on these inserts contours the outside of the workpiece and cuts grooves with rounded edges. Pair an insert with a compatible shank-style holder. When the first cutting edge dulls, flip the insert to use the other edge, giving it twice the life of a standard grooving insert.
