Grooving with the correct width and surface finish is only possible if the chip is controlled within a limited groove width. And managing chips in such a small space is a big deal. Halten's achievements in feature development for index able grooving tools are key to addressing these challenges while maintaining the highest standards for grooving performance and efficiency.

• For good reproducibility, the stopper supporting at the end maintains a firm edge position.
• The pocket has three contact faces for stability and a tight spring-clamp to hold the insert for continuous, smooth chip flow
• Particularly while cutting big diameter work components, the high stability allows vibration-free grooving and parting.
• Improve straightness and roughness noticeably to save material and prolong insert life.
