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.

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.

High-Performance Grooving Carbide Inserts






These inserts can cut grooves on both the outside and inside of a workpiece depending on the holder used. They are compatible with top-notch style threading and grooving systems, which use a highly-rigid clamping design, resulting in a smoother finish and superior tool life. When the first cutting edge dulls, flip the insert to use the second edge.
Pair a right-hand insert with a right-hand external holder or a left-hand internal holder.
Pair a left-hand insert with a left-hand external holder or a right-hand internal holder.
