Carmex MGR5B2.0L15 Solid Carbide Grooving Tool

Product Description

The CARMEX MGR5B2.0L15 is a solid carbide internal grooving tool designed for precision groove cutting in bored or drilled holes. Built from solid carbide throughout, it delivers the rigidity and wear resistance needed for consistent groove geometry in production and job-shop environments. The tool accepts a 5 mm shank diameter and produces a groove width of 0.080 inches. At 2.0 inches overall length with a 0.050-inch projection, it is sized for compact internal grooving applications where clearance is limited. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals use this type of tooling on CNC lathes and boring operations requiring repeatable, tight-tolerance grooves.

This grooving tool is suited for internal grooving operations in holes with a minimum diameter of 0.200 inches and a maximum depth of 0.590 inches. It is appropriate for use on ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials where solid carbide tooling is preferred for its hardness and thermal stability. Typical applications include snap-ring groove cutting, o-ring groove cutting, and undercut operations in precision machined components across industrial manufacturing environments.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for superior hardness and wear resistance
• 5 mm shank diameter for secure tool holding in compatible bores and holders
• 0.080-inch groove width for precise internal groove profiles
• 0.050-inch projection suitable for shallow internal grooving clearance requirements
• 2.0-inch overall length designed for compact internal machining access
• Compatible with minimum hole diameters starting at 0.200 inches

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fit for tooling systems accepting a 5 mm shank grooving insert bar in internal grooving applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist. Ensure the tool holder is clean and free of debris before seating the 5 mm shank to maintain concentricity. Secure the shank to the recommended clamping torque specified by the tool holder manufacturer. Verify workpiece is properly chucked and spindle is fully stopped before tool changes or adjustments.
