Grooving Inserts

Grooving inserts are replaceable cutting tips used on lathes and CNC turning centers to produce precise grooves, undercuts, and part-off operations. They are selected when a controlled groove width, clean surface finish, and reliable chip control are required on shafts, rings, and turned components in both production and maintenance environments.

This collection includes inserts for external and internal grooving, face grooving, and cut-off applications, available in multiple widths, corner radii, and cutting geometries. Options are suited for steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous materials, with wear-resistant coatings and grades designed for thermal stability and consistent tool life. Choose solutions from Yg and Soba for dependable seating in the toolholder, repeatable dimensions, and optimized cutting performance.

These inserts are widely used by machinists, manufacturing engineers, and QC-focused workshops in automotive, general machining, and precision component production where tight tolerances and predictable process capability matter.
