SummaryThe double‑serration profile of Groov·tec® GD provides exceptional stability, improving cutting parameters, process reliability and part quality.
DescriptionWalter Groov·tec® GD is a tool system designed for secure parting, grooving and copy turning operations. Its unique removable insert clamping with double serration (top and bottom) prevents lateral displacement of the insert, increasing process reliability and enabling tool life improvements of up to 150% compared with prismatic clamping under comparable conditions.
New "Double Serration" technologyThe new insert geometry with a double‑serration profile allows the GD26 insert and the tool body (insert pocket) to interlock precisely. This form‑fit connection absorbs lateral forces more effectively during turning and parting operations. Conventional systems (e.g. double‑prism clamping) show significantly lower stability in comparison.
Properties and innovationsFrom the highly stable double serration to the Tiger·tec® Gold coating on the inserts (high wear resistance), combined with manufacturer‑specific precision coolant and optimized chipbreaker geometries — Groov·tec® integrates features that raise industry standards.
