Parting and grooving methods
Threading
The most common applications for wide grooves or turning between shoulders include:
multiple grooving, plunge turning and ramping. All three methods are roughing operations
and have to be followed by a separate finishing operation. See page B 32.
Other grooving methods D
Circlip grooving, face grooving, profiling and undercutting are other grooving methods that
perform special cutting operations.
Circlip grooving is used to make a circlip groove on a shaft or in a bore. See page B 23.
Face grooving is used to make a groove on the face of a component. See page B 25.
Milling
Profiling is used to profile various shapes on a component. See page B 29.
Undercutting is used to make a recess for clearance, such as for subsequent threading E
on a shaft or in a bore. See page B 36.
Internal parting and grooving, see page B 40.
Milling
Parting off a component or making a circlip groove on a non-rotating component, can also

be done with a milling cutter such as CoroMill 327 and CoroMill 328.
The milling method can be a good alternative when the component has an asymmetric
operation, or to minimize the number of operations. See Milling, Chapter D. F

Choice of method – example
Parting and grooving operations could be done in several ways, using one or several
working operations.
The example operation involves making chamfered corners on a component.
One way to do the chamfer, is to use the corners on, for example, a CoroCut GF B
insert. The first cut makes the groove, the second and third cuts are the chamfers.

Threading
Screw clamping
All our solid tool holders/bars have integrated screw clamping.
This offers very stable and secure clamping of the insert and is
recommended for applications where large cutting forces arise D
(together with the rail insert seat).
This is particularly important when combined with large cutting
depths, such as in longitudinal turning, profiling and face grooving.
The recommended torque values for the clamping screws are listed

Torque wrench
C To get the best performance out of each tool holder with screw clamp, a torque
wrench should be used to correctly tighten the insert.
Torque that is set too high will affect the performance of the tool negatively and
cause insert and screw breakage.
Threading
Torque that is set too low will cause insert movement, vibrations, and degrade
the cutting result.
See Main catalogue to get the correct insert tightening torque.
D

Clamping screws
E First of all, use a torque wrench to tighten the screws to the correct torque.
Apply sufficient screw lubrication to prevent seizure. Lubricant should be applied to
the screw thread as well as the screw head face.
Replace worn or damaged screws.
Drilling
Chip evacuation and cooling and lubricating between the tool and the workpiece
material are primary functions of cutting fluid, and all affect the cutting quality and
G the tool life.
Coolant recommendations:
•U

soluble oil.
Machines
• T he cubic capacity of the coolant tank should be 5-10 times greater than the
volume of coolant that the pump supplies per minute.
H •A
copious supply of cutting fluid, directed exactly at the cutting edge, should be
used from the moment the insert is engaged and throughout the operation.
• Use wet cutting if possible.

Chip control
Improved chip evacuation is achieved by improving chip formation. Poor chip
formation is signaled by excessively long chips. These may cause chip jamming,
resulting in poorer surface finish and tool breakage, especially when grooving into
small holes.

Problems in poor chip formation may be caused by:

Milling
Modern manufacturing technology places increasing demands on components to be
made in one set-up, creating the need for machining hardened components.
Cutting tool materials such as CBN (cubic boron nitride) act as a productivity booster E
when turning is used instead of grinding. For CoroCut 1-edge a small piece of CBN is
brazed into a carbide body, making it possible to groove and profile in hardened
components. Both hardened as well as induction hardened components with
hardness from 50–65 HRc can be machined.
Drilling
We recommend CoroCut inserts with geometries GE for grooving and RE for profiling.
For grooving in smaller holes CoroCut XS and CoroCut MB are available with CBN-
tipped inserts.

They are suitable for both continuous and interrupted cuts and designed to achieve
good surface quality and to keep close tolerances.

steels.
We recommend CoroCut 1- and 2-edged inserts with PVD coating for medium finishing
machining, and an MTCVD grade for roughing.
For higher cutting speeds, a ceramic insert will drastically improve productivity.
D To achieve good chip-breaking in long-chipping materials, such as titanium alloys, and to prolong
tool life, we recommend installing a high pressure coolant in the machine. See Tool holding/
machines, Chapter G.

Safety precautions
F Chips are very hot and have sharp edges! They should not be moved with bare hands. Chips can cause burns to the
skin or damage to the eyes.
Be sure that the insert and component are tight and secured in the holder to prevent loosening during use. Too much
overhang can result in vibration and tool breakage.

How to achieve good quality
Good quality in parting and grooving is mainly dependent on the tool system and its behaviour with the cutting material.
Tool holding/
However, tool maintenance is also important for the final machining result.
Machines
• Tool, insert geometry and grade affect the cutting quality. Wiper inserts improve the surface finish.
• Use correct feed rates for the insert and the material.
H • Use a tool holder with a short overhang to avoid vibrations, use a sub-spindle if available.
• Chip breaking and chip evacuation must be satisfactory.
• Maintain the tools. Change the insert clamping screw regularly. Use a torque wrench.
• Establish a pre-determined tool life program.

Ramping is recommended to avoid vibration and minimize

By using a round insert such as the RO or RM geometry, the

F Avoid vibrations
To avoid vibrations, the set-up should have the shortest overhang with the lightest
cutting geometry. Therefore, use an insert with sharp GF or TF geometry.
Vibrations can also be avoided by using several insertions with a narrower insert.
End up with a finishing operation. See illustration (A) right.
Boring
A groove can also be machined with a single insertion followed by plunge turning.
Start at the bottom and machine from the back to the front of the hole to get the
best chip evacuation. See illustration (B) right.

For accurate machining with lower vibration and precise height, use EasyFix

We tailor inserts and tool holders to suit your specific component requirements.
Parting and grooving
Contact your Sandvik Coromant representative and we will give a quick quotation
with competitive price and delivery.
If you are grooving for mass production and the groove requires chamfering
(option 16), the use of Tailor Made inserts can reduce your cycle time by up
to 50%.

General parting of bars
Tailor Made tool holders, with ar (min. length) optimized for the component,
enable the use of higher cutting data and ensure longer tool life. Together,
this offers you better productivity.
Boring
Reinforced blades, optimized according to your bar size diameter, also enable
the use of higher cutting data and ensure longer tool life in parting off operations.
This again offers higher productivity.
