Grooving Tools:
The Kyocera GBA Grooving System has a 3 cutting edge triangular insert with a holder that gives more rigid clamping than a top notch or other systems for better tool life and finishes in grooving and turning applications. The GBA32 and GBF32 Series is great for Swiss machines or lathes that run small parts as it is available from .0098" to .118" width with many options available for the ideal selection for your application. The GBA43 series is for your larger parts on CNC lathes as it is available from .031" to .188" width, it will match up exactly to the dimensions of a higher grade insert but with the extra cutting edge and more rigid holding to extend tool life.

The Kyocera KGD can be used for both grooving as well as cutoff (the GM chipbreaker is for grooving and face turning; the PM chipbreaker is for cutoff). Available in 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm and 8mm widths. This system has less insert with options than the GBA series but is extremely rigid that can do deeper grooves with more versatility. The system works straight on or at 90° in almost any lathe application. Holders for the Swiss as well as lathes are available for this system. The KGD will extend insert life and give excellent finishes. To shop our selection of Kyocera KGD Grooving Tools, click
