Tungaloy inserts added to groove turning tool series

Tungaloy has expanded its AddInternalCut groove turning tool series to include new TCIG12 inserts as well as additional TCIG10 inserts that allow a maximum groove width of 3.0 mm in bores as small as 10.5 mm dia.

The TCIG12 inserts and toolholders enable a maximum radial DOC of 3.0 mm and groove widths from 1.5 to 3.0 mm in a minimum bore diameter of 13 mm. In addition, the TCIG10 insert line now includes 3.0-mm-wide inserts mounted on existing toolholders, eliminating the need for additional tool investments.

The inserts have precision-ground sharp cutting edges that provide reduced cutting forces during machining. Using these inserts with toolholders with a secure insert-retention mechanism will help ensure chatter-free stability and reliability in challenging internal grooving operations of miniature parts, the company states.
