Carmex MGR6B1.0L15 Solid Carbide Grooving Tool 6mm Shank

Product Description

The CARMEX MGR6B1.0L15 is a solid carbide internal grooving tool designed for precision groove cutting in small-diameter bores. Built on a 6mm shank, this tool cuts a 0.040-inch groove width and reaches a maximum hole depth of 0.59 inches, making it well suited for tight-tolerance grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. The solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance in demanding cutting applications. It is installed and used by machinists and tooling technicians working in precision machining environments.

This grooving tool is intended for internal grooving operations in bores with a minimum hole diameter of 0.24 inches. The 0.060-inch projection and 2.0-inch overall length keep the tool compact for use in confined bore access conditions. Typical applications include snap ring grooves, oil grooves, and retaining ring seats in metal components machined on CNC turning equipment.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and extended tool life in abrasive materials
• 6mm shank diameter for compatibility with standard small-bore toolholding systems
• 0.040-inch groove width for precise, repeatable groove geometry
• 0.060-inch projection supports controlled depth engagement in tight bores
• Minimum hole diameter of 0.24 inches enables grooving in small internal diameters
• Compact 2.0-inch overall length suits space-constrained CNC lathe setups

Compatibility

Designed as a solid carbide internal grooving tool for use with standard 6mm shank toolholding systems on CNC lathes and turning centers capable of small-bore internal grooving operations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Secure the 6mm shank firmly in a compatible toolholder and verify runout before beginning cuts. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the CNC program is in a safe state before changing or adjusting tooling. Do not exceed the maximum hole depth rating of 0.59 inches to avoid tool deflection or breakage.
