Carmex MFR6B2.0L22 Face Grooving Tool Solid Carbide

Product Description

The CARMEX MFR6B2.0L22 is a solid carbide face grooving tool designed for internal face grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It accepts a 6 mm shank diameter and delivers a groove width of 0.0800 inches, making it well suited for precision groove profiles in bore applications. At 2.0000 inches overall length and a projection of 0.1200 inches, this tool provides the reach and rigidity needed for consistent, repeatable cuts. Machinists and tooling specialists working with small-bore components rely on solid carbide construction for its hardness, wear resistance, and ability to hold tight tolerances at higher cutting speeds.

This face grooving tool is intended for use in internal bore applications where face grooves must be cut perpendicular to the bore axis. It requires a minimum hole diameter of 0.3100 inches and supports a maximum hole depth of 7/8 inch, making it appropriate for small-diameter bore work in precision machined components. Typical applications include retaining ring grooves, O-ring grooves, and snap-fit features in turned parts across aerospace, hydraulic, and general machining environments.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for high wear resistance and dimensional stability
• 0.0800 inch groove width for tight-tolerance face groove profiles
• 6 mm shank diameter for compatibility with standard small-bore tooling blocks
• 0.1200 inch projection supports controlled reach into confined bore geometries
• Minimum hole diameter of 0.3100 inches enables work in small-diameter bores
• Compact 2.0000 inch overall length supports rigid tool setup and reduced vibration

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style face grooving tool for use with standard 6 mm shank boring bar systems and CNC lathe tooling blocks suited to small internal bore applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and all motion is locked out before seating or adjusting the tool in the holder. Secure the 6 mm shank to the specified clamping torque called out in your tooling block documentation. Verify tool projection and alignment before initiating a cut, and confirm workpiece bore diameter meets the 0.3100 inch minimum to avoid tool interference.
