1. What are grooving tools and why are they important in machining?
Grooving tools are cutting tools used to create narrow, recessed sections (grooves) on the inner or outer surfaces of cylindrical components. They are critical in precision machining for functions like housing O-rings, seals, snap rings, and retaining clips.
2. What is the difference between internal and external grooving tools?
Internal grooving tools are designed to cut grooves inside a bore or hole, while external grooving tools are used on the outside diameter of a part. Both require different geometries and sizes to fit specific machining setups.
3. Do grooving tools come in different widths and depths?
Yes, grooving tools are available in various widths and cutting depths to match different groove profiles. At Samtec Tools, we offer a wide selection to suit diverse industrial needs and machining parameters.
4. Can I use grooving tools on CNC machines?
Absolutely. Our grooving tools are fully compatible with CNC machines, offering high precision, repeatability, and tool life. They are also suitable for manual lathes and turning centers.
5. What materials are your grooving tools made of?
Samtec grooving tools are made from, solid carbide, or carbide inserts. These materials ensure excellent cutting performance, heat resistance, and durability.
