Horn S224030034AS66 Grooving Insert Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HORN S224030034AS66 is a solid carbide grooving insert in the S224 series, designed for precise external and internal grooving operations on CNC turning centers and grooving tools. The insert features a 0.118-inch cutting width and a 0.0080-inch corner radius, making it suited for narrow groove applications where dimensional accuracy is critical. Grade AS66 provides the wear resistance and edge stability required for consistent performance in production environments. The screw-holding method ensures secure clamping in compatible toolholders. Machining professionals and CNC operators use this insert when tight groove tolerances and repeatable performance are required.

The S224030034AS66 is intended for use in turning and grooving applications across a range of workpiece materials. Its primary workpiece material classifications include cast iron (K), non-ferrous materials (N), and steel (P). Secondary classifications extend to stainless steel (M) and superalloys (S). The 5-degree lead angle and 0.866-inch overall length are typical of the S224 series profile. This insert is applicable in both left-hand and right-hand orientations, providing flexibility for various machine configurations and toolholder setups on production and job-shop turning equipment.

Compatibility

Designed for use with S224 series grooving toolholders that accept screw-mounted inserts. Suitable for workpiece materials classified under ISO K, N, P (primary) and M, S (secondary) material codes.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine before changing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or hex key for the clamping screw and ensure the insert seat is clean and free of chips before seating the new insert. Do not exceed the toolholder manufacturer's recommended clamping torque range for S224 series inserts.
