Carmex Small Indexable Carbide Insert for External Face Grooving is a precision cutting insert designed for external grooving operations, offering robust performance across a range of demanding materials.

• Type: Indexable carbide insert optimized for external face grooving applications
• Min. Bore: Ø12.0 mm (0.47 in) minimum bore for external mounting
• Width: 2 mm
• Groove Depth: 5 mm groove depth
• Coating: BLU PVD triple-layer coated, sub-micron grade for wear resistance
• Material: Carbide insert designed for precision, durability, and consistent chip control
• Material Compatibility: Suitable for stainless steels, cast iron, titanium, non-ferrous metals, and most high-temperature alloys (M10–M20, K05–K20, N10–N20, S10–S20)
• Series: T10 family, designed for reliable indexing and repeatable results in external grooving

The insert is crafted to deliver stable cutting action and repeatable groove geometry, even in challenging materials. The BLU coating reduces wear on hard-to-machine metals, helping extend tool life while maintaining precise dimensions. With a defined bore size, narrow width, and a 5 mm groove depth, this insert supports efficient external face grooving workflows and minimizes tool changes in mixed-material environments.
