THINBIT Grooving Insert 3 Pack LGT030D2LCR010 .030″ Width .090″ Depth

Description

Product Overview

The THINBIT 3 pack LGT030D2LCR010 grooving insert is engineered for high‑performance machining across a broad range of metalworking applications. Constructed from uncoated DURA‑MAX 2000 carbide, each insert delivers exceptional wear resistance and maintains a sharp cutting edge even under the most demanding conditions. With a precise .030″ width and a .090″ depth capability, the insert can efficiently cut grooves, arcs, and angles in steel, cast iron, and stainless steel, providing clean, burr‑free finishes. The interrupted cut design reduces cutting forces and minimizes chip adhesion, extending tool life and improving overall productivity. Designed for compatibility with large series toolholders, the insert can be used in both left‑hand straight and right‑hand 90‑degree orientations, offering flexibility for various machining setups. Its compact dimensions—0.83 x 0.17 x 0.24 inches—allow for easy integration into existing tool systems while delivering reliable performance.

Usage

These inserts excel in parting and grooving operations where precision and repeatability are critical. They are ideal for machining parts up to .180″ in stock thickness, making them suitable for a wide array of industrial components such as shafts, gears, and valve bodies. The insert’s ability to cut flush to the collet face or shoulder of larger diameters ensures seamless transitions between machining steps, reducing setup time and eliminating the need for multiple tooling changes. Whether used in high‑speed CNC turning centers or manual lathes, the THINBIT insert provides consistent performance, delivering smooth cuts with minimal vibration. Its robust carbide composition allows it to handle the high temperatures generated during heavy cuts, making it a reliable choice for continuous production environments, including automotive, aerospace, and heavy equipment manufacturing.
