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.
C2 carbide is abrasion resistant and less likely to chip or crack than C5 carbide when cutting aluminum, brass, and bronze.
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.

Shank-Style Holders for Indexable Cutoff and Grooving Carbide Inserts
Fit these holders directly into a lathe tool post or appropriately sized holder without the need for a tool block. Pair with a square-nose carbide insert (sold separately) to make a cutoff and grooving tool or a round-nose insert to make a grooving and profiling tool. These holders have an opening at one end.

Blade-Style Holders for Indexable Cutoff and Grooving Carbide Inserts

Install one of these holders into a tool block for right- and left-hand mounting in a lathe. Pair with a carbide insert (sold separately) to make the exact cutoff and grooving tool you need. These holders have an opening at each end.
Use an insert extractor (sold separately) to change out inserts in the holder.
