Carmex MFR5B1.5L22 Face Grooving Tool Solid Carbide

Product Description

The CARMEX MFR5B1.5L22 is a solid carbide face grooving tool designed for internal grooving operations on small-diameter bores. It delivers a 0.060-inch groove width with a 5 mm shank diameter and a 0.100-inch projection, making it well suited for precision groove profiles in tight bore conditions. The overall length of 2.000 inches keeps the tool compact for close-clearance setups. Machinists and toolroom operators working on CNC lathes or manual turning centers will find this tool appropriate for high-accuracy face grooving on hard and abrasive workpiece materials where carbide grade is required.

This face grooving tool is used in turning and boring applications where internal face grooves must be cut within small-diameter bores. It targets operations requiring a minimum hole diameter of 0.240 inches and a maximum hole depth of 7/8 inch. Typical applications include grooving for snap-ring seats, O-ring grooves, and relief channels on precision turned components in aerospace, automotive, hydraulic, and general machining environments.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard materials
• 0.060-inch groove width for narrow, precise face groove profiles
• 5 mm shank diameter suits standard small-bore toolholding systems
• 0.100-inch projection allows reach into confined bore geometries
• Minimum bore entry of 0.240 inches enables grooving in small-diameter bores
• 2.000-inch overall length supports compact setups and reduced overhang

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit face grooving tool for 5 mm shank toolholding systems used in CNC and manual turning applications requiring a 0.060-inch groove width.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians on CNC lathes or manual turning centers. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the tool from the holder. Confirm proper shank seating and clamping torque per the toolholder manufacturer specifications before running. Verify bore clearance against the 0.240-inch minimum hole diameter and 7/8-inch maximum hole depth before beginning the cut.
