The Groov·tec GD G5011 grooving tool body accepts patent-pending, double-edged GD26 cutting inserts with a double serration clamping profile for secure locking in the insert seat, increasing stability and reliability.

The positive fit absorbs lateral forces during longitudinal and copy-turning. In addition to longitudinal and copy turning, the tool can be used for applications, including radial grooving, recess turning (groove turning), offset grooving, chamfering, parting off with an inclined edge cutting insert, and parting off with a straight cutting insert. A raised center serration prevents incorrect installation.

The geometries CE4, CF5, and CF6 are for parting off and grooving. UA4, UD4, and UF4 are for parting, grooving, and groove turning. RD4 and RF8 are for operations using the full radius.

Inserts are available for grooving widths of 2.5, 3, 4, 5, and 6 mm. Indexable insert clamping can be operated from both sides. For optimum tool stability, there are two grooving depths of 12 and 21 mm. The corresponding tool holder shank sizes are 0.625, 0.75, and 1 in as well as 16 x 16, 20 x 20, and 25 x 25 mm.

The new serration profile and coolant delivery to the tool/workpiece interface enable increased cutting parameters, and the tool can be used with or without cooling. Precision cooling on the rake and clearance surfaces is provided at a pressure of up to 2,176 psi (150 bar).

Four PVD grades are available for machining steel, stainless steel, and super alloy materials:
