Value Collection 2877093 Grooving Insert TNMC32 TCN55

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 2877093 is a solid carbide grooving insert designed for precision turning and grooving operations on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. Carrying the TNMC32 insert style designation with a TCN55 manufacturer grade, this insert delivers a 0.0625 inch cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 0.151 inches. The right-hand orientation suits standard right-hand toolholders used in the majority of turning setups. Solid carbide construction provides hardness and wear resistance suited for grooving ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. The C5 material grade classification aligns with general-purpose carbide applications.

This insert is intended for machining shops, tool rooms, and production turning operations where consistent groove geometry and dimensional accuracy are required. It fits TNMC-style toolholders accepting a size 32 insert with a 3/8 inch inscribed circle. Typical applications include external grooving, recessing, and undercutting passes on turned components. It is sold individually per package, with a minimum order quantity of 10 pieces, making it appropriate for both job shop restocking and production floor inventory.
