TURNING TOOLS
Parting & Grooving Tools
Toolholders and inserts for parting, cut-off, external grooving, internal grooving and related turning operations.
Select the tooling system by machining operation, groove width, cutting depth, insert geometry and holder compatibility. Correct selection helps improve rigidity, chip control, dimensional consistency and tool life.
Choose by Tool Type
Start by selecting the holder or insert family required for the machining operation.

Browse InsertsChoose by Operation
The operation determines the required holder style, insert geometry, cutting width and available clearance.
Select a rigid blade or holder with suitable insert width, cutting depth capability and chip-control geometry.
Match groove width, depth and profile to the insert and holder configuration.
Check minimum bore diameter, holder clearance, overhang and insert accessibility.
Use suitable insert geometry where profiling, relief cutting or contour access is required.
Check the Complete Tooling Setup
Toolholder, insert and cutting conditions must work together as one system.
Match insert width to the required groove or parting width.
Confirm the holder or blade can reach the required groove depth or cut-off diameter.
Select geometry for parting, grooving, profiling, chip control and surface-finish requirements.
Confirm the insert fits the selected holder, blade or internal grooving system.
Match carbide grade and coating to steel, stainless steel, cast iron or other materials.
Minimise overhang and use effective coolant delivery where possible to improve stability and chip evacuation.
Practical Selection Priorities
Use the narrowest practical insert while maintaining sufficient edge strength and rigidity.
Prioritise holder rigidity, blade support, chip evacuation and coolant delivery.
Check minimum bore diameter and keep holder overhang as short as possible.
Match grade, geometry and cutting data carefully to reduce heat and improve tool life.
Match the holder, insert and application.
Send us the groove width, cutting depth, workpiece material, machine type and current tooling designation if available.
