Grooving Inserts are specialized carbide cutting tools designed for machining grooves, slots, and parting-off operations on CNC lathes and milling machines. These inserts provide high precision, excellent surface finish, and long tool life, making them essential for industries like automotive, aerospace, oil & gas, and general engineering.

At CNC Tools Depot, we stock a wide range of grooving inserts from leading global brands including Kennametal, Widia, Korloy, Taegutec, Seco, Mitsubishi, and more – ensuring you always get the right tool for your application.

Applications of Grooving Inserts

Grooving inserts are versatile and widely used in CNC machining for:

• Internal Grooving – creating precise grooves inside a bore.

• External Grooving – machining slots and reliefs on outer diameters.

• Parting-off / Cut-off – separating a finished component from the bar stock.

• Face Grooving – producing circular grooves on the face of a component.

• Thread Grooving – machining grooves for threading applications.

• Custom Grooving – specialized grooves for sealing, O-rings, or snap-fit designs.
