Walter GB has launched the new G3051-P groove turning holder with MX22-2L/R Tiger.tec indexable inserts specifically for shoulder grooving. With insert widths of 1.5 to 3mm, the new G3051-P can produce groove depths up to 6mm.
Suitable for precision parts from medical devices to automotive camshafts, the holder is available in shank sizes of 12 to 25mm and features precision cooling. Inserts are positioned at a 3-degree incline and, because there is a ‘level design’ on the working face, there is no end-face axial contact. The four-edged inserts are available with the new GD8 and VG8 geometries, the latter being specifically developed for finishing op-erations behind a shoulder.
