Grooving Tool Holders

Cut-Off Tool Holder
Cut-off tool holders rigidly support thin blades to precisely part off or cut through rotating workpieces on a lathe.

Face Grooving Tool Holder
Face grooving tool holders are designed to hold inserts for creating grooves on the face or end of a cylindrical workpiece.

Grooving Tool Holder
Grooving tool holders securely hold inserts for creating grooves of specific widths and depths on a workpiece's surface.

Internal Grooving Tool Holder
Internal grooving tool holders are designed to hold inserts for creating grooves within the internal diameter of a workpiece.

Parting Tool Holder
Parting tool holders rigidly support thin blades to precisely cut off or separate a workpiece on a lathe.
Parting is the process of cutting off a piece of metal from the bar stock (cutting through to the center), while grooving creates a channel or recess on the surface without severing the part.
The width depends on your required groove dimensions. However, for parting off, choose the narrowest insert possible to save material, but wide enough to maintain blade strength.
Yes, our holders and inserts are compatible with all major CNC turning centers and manual lathes, following ISO standards.
