Carmex MGR5B1.5L15 Solid Carbide Grooving Tool

Product Description

The CARMEX MGR5B1.5L15 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 0.060-inch groove width, this tool delivers consistent, repeatable cuts in tight-tolerance machining environments. The solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance, making it suitable for high-speed and interrupted-cut conditions. Overall length is 2.0 inches, with a projection of 0.05 inches. It is installed by machinists and tool-and-die professionals working on CNC lathes and turning centers.

This grooving tool is suited for internal grooving operations in bores with a minimum hole diameter of 0.200 inches and a maximum hole depth of 0.590 inches. Typical applications include snap-ring groove cutting, undercut formation, and sealing groove machining in precision components. The compact shank size makes it well-suited for small-bore work where clearance is limited.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and extended tool life
• 0.060-inch groove width for precise, consistent groove geometry
• 5 mm shank diameter compatible with standard small-bore toolholders
• 0.200-inch minimum hole diameter for small-bore internal grooving
• 0.590-inch maximum hole depth capability
• Compact 2.0-inch overall length for use in confined setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit grooving insert tool for standard 5 mm shank boring and grooving toolholders used in CNC turning and lathe applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer's toolholder torque and clamping procedures. Always power down and lock out the spindle before mounting or adjusting the tool. Verify shank seating depth and projection before commencing a cut. Confirm workpiece bore dimensions match the tool's minimum hole diameter specification before use.
