Walter (Greer, SC) has launched the Groov∙tec GD axial grooving tool G5111 along with the G5041 reinforced parting blade and G5042 deep-parting blade, as well as product additions to the G5011 grooving system.
The grooving system features a new insert design with a double serration profile for positively secure locking in the insert seat to increase stability and process reliability. The positive fit effectively absorbs lateral forces during longitudinal and copy turning. A raised center serration prevents incorrect installation.
Additions to the product range include radial grooving and groove-turning tools G5011 in shank sizes of 1.25 inch, 12×12 mm and 32×32 mm, and Walter Capto G5011-C-P tools in C3 to C6 sizes.
The face grooving tool G5111 is the new introduction to the Groov∙tec GD family. The G5111 system is introduced with cutting depths of 12, 21 and 25 mm, an axial grooving diameter from 34 to 500 mm, and shank sizes of 25×25 mm and 1 inch.
The benefits of the G5111 include increased cutting parameters, maximum process reliability and exceptional service life thanks to the stable Groov∙tec GD double serration profile, and maximum productivity and tool life because of the wear-resistant Tiger∙tec Gold grades.
