Carmex MGR6B2.0L15 Solid Carbide Grooving Tool

Product Description

The CARMEX MGR6B2.0L15 is a solid carbide internal grooving tool designed for precision groove cutting in small-bore applications. Built from solid carbide throughout, this tool delivers the rigidity and wear resistance required for consistent groove geometry in production and job-shop environments. It features a 6 mm shank diameter, a 2 inch overall length, and a 0.080 inch groove width, making it suitable for tight-tolerance internal grooving passes where tool deflection must be minimized. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals working on CNC lathes and turning centers are the primary users of this style of grooving tool.

This grooving tool is suited for internal bore grooving operations where the minimum hole diameter is 0.240 inches. With a maximum hole depth capacity of 0.590 inches and a 0.060 inch projection, it is well matched to shallow-to-mid-depth internal groove work in both ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It is commonly used in precision machining shops, maintenance and repair operations, and production turning environments where consistent groove profiles are required.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for superior rigidity and wear resistance in internal grooving applications
• 6 mm shank diameter for compatibility with standard small-bore toolholders
• 0.080 inch groove width for precise, repeatable internal groove profiles
• 0.240 inch minimum hole diameter allows use in tight bore conditions
• 0.060 inch projection with 0.590 inch maximum hole depth for controlled cutting reach
• 2 inch overall length supports compact toolholder setups on CNC turning equipment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use solid carbide grooving tool for standard 6 mm shank internal grooving toolholders used in CNC lathes and turning centers.

Installation Notes

Installation of this grooving tool should be performed by a qualified machinist following the toolholder manufacturer guidelines for clamping torque and shank seating. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before tool changes. Verify shank engagement depth meets toolholder specifications before running the spindle. Confirm feed rate and spindle speed parameters are appropriate for the workpiece material before initiating the grooving pass.
