Carmex MGR5B1.0L15 Solid Carbide Grooving Tool

Product Description

The CARMEX MGR5B1.0L15 is a solid carbide internal grooving tool designed for precision groove cutting in bore and hole applications. With a 5 mm shank diameter and a 0.040-inch groove width, this tool delivers consistent, repeatable cuts in tight-tolerance work. The overall length is 2.0 inches, and the projection measures 0.050 inches. Solid carbide construction provides the rigidity and wear resistance needed for demanding machining cycles on lathes and turning centers. Machinists and tooling specialists working with small-bore internal grooving operations will find this tool well suited to their requirements.

This grooving tool is intended for internal grooving and recessing operations where bore access is limited. The minimum hole diameter it can enter is 0.200 inches, and it supports a maximum hole depth of 0.590 inches. It is used in CNC lathe and live-tooling setups where controlled groove geometry and minimal deflection are critical. Suitable for ferrous and non-ferrous materials depending on cutting parameters selected by the operator.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and extended tool life
• 5 mm shank diameter for compatibility with standard small-bore tooling blocks
• 0.040-inch groove width for precise internal groove geometry
• 0.050-inch projection keeps cutting engagement controlled in confined bores
• Minimum hole diameter of 0.200 inches enables work in very small bore diameters
• Maximum hole depth of 0.590 inches supports a range of internal groove positions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use solid carbide grooving tool for standard 5 mm shank internal grooving toolholders used in CNC turning and lathe applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with CNC lathe tooling setup. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the control is in an e-stop or locked-out state before inserting or removing the tool. Secure the shank firmly in the toolholder to the manufacturer-specified clamping method to prevent tool pullout during cutting. Verify projection length and tool offset in the control before initiating any cutting cycle.
