Carmex MFR5B1.0L22 Face Grooving Tool Solid Carbide

Product Description

The CARMEX MFR5B1.0L22 is a solid carbide face grooving tool designed for internal grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. With a 5 mm shank diameter and a 0.040-inch groove width, this tool is built for precise, repeatable cuts in tight-tolerance bore grooving applications. The solid carbide construction delivers rigidity and wear resistance across a range of workpiece materials. It is a compact tool suited to machinists and toolroom professionals running production or job-shop turning work where dimensional accuracy in grooved bores is required.

This face grooving tool is intended for internal face grooving in bores with a minimum hole diameter of 0.240 inches. The tool accommodates a maximum hole depth of 7/8 inch and features a 0.060-inch projection. At an overall length of 2.000 inches, it fits standard CNC lathe and turning center toolholding systems accepting a 5 mm shank. It is appropriate for precision machining environments in both production and prototype settings where small-bore internal groove profiles are required.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and extended tool life in internal grooving applications
• 0.040-inch groove width enables precise, narrow face grooves in small bores
• 5 mm shank diameter suits compact CNC lathe and turning center toolholding
• 0.240-inch minimum hole diameter allows access to tight internal bore profiles
• 0.060-inch projection supports controlled depth engagement
• Maximum hole depth of 7/8 inch covers common small-bore grooving requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style face grooving tool for CNC lathes and turning centers accepting a 5 mm shank diameter in internal grooving toolholding systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC toolroom technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before changing tooling. Secure the shank firmly in the toolholder to the manufacturer-specified clamping method to prevent tool pullout during cut. Verify bore diameter and depth clearances against the tool projection and maximum hole depth specifications before initiating a cut.
