External Diameter Grooving Tools - SM56275

Use of External Grooving and Parting-Off Tools in CNC Turning Machines

Precision and Stability:

External grooving and parting-off tools are designed to operate with high precision. These tools

perform cutting operations accurately and consistently, even in tight spaces, ensuring the

correct shaping of the workpieces.

Application Areas:

External grooving tools are primarily used for creating grooves, threads, and various channel

profiles. Parting-off tools, on the other hand, are preferred for separating or cutting off parts.

Both types of tools are commonly used in CNC turning machines for a wide range of machining

operations.

Material Selection:

These tools are manufactured from materials resistant to wear and high temperatures, such as

hardened steel and carbide. Such materials enhance tool life while improving cutting efficiency.

Cutting Speed and Efficiency:

In CNC machines, external grooving and parting-off tools operate at high speeds and in

automated cycles, reducing machining time and increasing production efficiency. These tools

provide sharp and clean cuts with minimal vibration, contributing to superior surface quality and

process reliability.

Advantages of Internally Cooled External Grooving and Parting-Off Tools

Prevention of Excessive Heat:

Tools equipped with internal cooling systems prevent the high temperatures generated during

cutting from damaging both the tool and the workpiece. The coolant is directed precisely to the

cutting zone, reducing heat buildup on the workpiece and extending the tool’s service life.

Improved Cutting Performance

Internal cooling allows the workpiece to be machined more cleanly and smoothly during cutting

operations. Delivering coolant directly to the cutting area enhances performance, resulting in

more precise and higher-quality finishes.

Extended Tool Life:

Properly directed coolant flow minimizes tool wear and degradation. This enables longer

uninterrupted machining periods and reduces the frequency of tool changes, thereby lowering

overall production costs.

High Efficiency:

Internal cooling significantly improves machining efficiency. By preventing tools from

overheating, it enables higher cutting speeds and greater cutting capacity. This leads to

substantial time savings in production processes.
