OverviewUnique stability of the Groov·tec® double-serration profile increases achievable cutting parameters, process reliability and final part quality. Groov·tec® GD is a tooling system dedicated to parting and grooving, designed to provide the most secure insert clamping solution available.
Key advantages- Highly stable removable insert clamping with double serration (top and bottom) that prevents lateral ejection of the insert.
- Higher process security and better cutting stability compared with prismatic clamping systems.
- Tool life increase up to 150% versus conventional prismatic clamping (depending on application).
- Nested insert (GD26) / tool body design improves absorption of lateral forces during turning and parting.
- Compatible with proven coatings and technologies for high wear resistance and effective chip control.
New "Double Serration" technologyInsert design with a double-serration profile: the GD26 insert and the toolbody insert pocket are precisely nested. The form-fit connection absorbs lateral loads more effectively than traditional systems (e.g., double prism), delivering superior stability across operations from general turning to parting.
Coatings and additional features- Inserts available with Tiger·tec® Gold coating for high wear resistance.
- Precision Walter coolant solutions for optimized thermal evacuation.
- Innovative chipbreaker geometries adapted to grooving and parting applications.
Applications- Parting and grooving operations
- Operations requiring high process security and control of lateral forces
