Application Tips for Parting off and Grooving
Single grooving ● Single grooving is the most economical and productive method for machining grooves. ● GS chip breaker has width tolerance of +/- 0.02mm, and works well at low feed.
Ramping style grooving ● Ramping style grooving avoids vibration and minimizes radial force. This method can achieve best chip control and reduce notch wear during machining heat resistant alloys ● Higher feed rate can be applied to profiling RM or RA geometry to achieve higher stability and productivity. ● Note: Ramping style grooving doubled the number of passes

flatness of the groove bottom ● In case of machining radial grooves, sometimes the flatness of the groove bottom is required. ● Generally, GS, TM, G chip breakers are used to machine completely flat bottom grooves.
Chamfered corners ● In case of producing high quality grooves, usually the corners on the insert can be used for chamfering. For example, a finish grooving insert is used to chamfer; as per illustration A ● A better way to make grooves with chamfer in mass production is to order a Tailor Made insert with the exact chamfer form as per illustration B.

Multiple grooving ● It's the best method for rough grooving when groove depth is bigger than groove width. ● Multiple grooving will improve chip flow and increase tool life. ● Ring's width is generally 0.6-0.8 times insert's width.
Plunge turning ● TS and TM chip breaker can be used for plunge turning and ramping, as the insert design is suitable for axial and radial feed. ● In case of turning axially, depth should not exceed 0.75 x insert width.
