 Grooving

 TF – First choice, alround geometry

 TM – Productive side turning

 GM – Chip control in different material

 GF – Precision grooving

2
 CoroCut® XS
– for external grooving small micro components

 Widths from 0.5 –2.5 mm

 For precision grooving
 For grooving turning.

 Single cut grooving

 Economical and productive method to

produce grooves

 GF geometry has width tolerance of ±0.02

mm and works well in low feeds

 GM is intended for medium feed.

TF have wiper design, gives extreme high

surface quality on the side of the groove.

 Multiple grooving

 The best method for rough grooving

when depth is bigger than width.

Plunge grooving

 Practical hints

 Use the corners on the insert, for

example GF to chamfer, see A

 A better way to make grooves with

chamfer is to order Tailor Made, see B.
