The Thinbit line of Groove ‘N Turn dovetail grooving inserts, by Kaiser Tool Co. has been expanded to offer more sizes. The dovetail grooving inserts are intended to machine O-ring dovetail grooves with 66-degree undercut angles. The design is optimized for strength by using an insert pair to generate the groove form. These dovetail inserts can be used on conventional, Swiss-type and CNC machines. The inserts are available in submicron grain carbide grades for ferrous and nonferrous materials, either uncoated or with TiN, TiCN, TiAlN or diamond film coatings.
Insert sizes include 0.030", 0.050", 0.060", 0.070", 0.080", 0.090", 0.100", 0.125" and 0.150", with major diameters starting at 0.300". Square-shank toolholders are available in sizes ranging from 5/16" to 1¼"; round-shank toolholders are available in sizes from ½" to 1" with straight and 90-degree presentations. The dovetail inserts fit existing L-series Thinbit toolholders.
