THINBIT Grooving Insert LGT125D2L 3Pack .125″ x .250″ Uncoated Carbide

Description

Product Overview

The THINBIT 3‑Pack LGT125D2L grooving insert is engineered for high‑performance machining across a broad range of metalworking applications. Constructed from uncoated DURA‑MAX 2000 carbide, the insert offers exceptional hardness and wear resistance, ensuring long tool life even under demanding conditions. With a precise .125″ width and a .250″ depth capability, the insert can generate clean, accurate grooves, arcs, and angles in steel, cast iron, and stainless steel. The sharp corner geometry, combined with interrupted cuts, minimizes chip adhesion and reduces the risk of built‑up edge formation, delivering consistent performance throughout the machining cycle. Each pack contains three identical inserts, providing flexibility for multi‑tool setups and quick replacement during production runs. The compact dimensions—0.83 x 0.17 x 0.24 inches—allow for seamless integration into standard Large series toolholders, supporting both left‑hand straight (LH) and right‑hand 90° (RH) orientations.

Usage

Designed for parting and grooving operations, this insert excels in environments where precision and repeatability are paramount. It is ideally suited for CNC turning centers, manual lathes, and multi‑axis machining centers that require reliable groove creation on medium to high‑strength alloys. The interrupted cut design enables the tool to handle interrupted cuts without excessive vibration, making it a reliable choice for producing keyways, slots, and decorative grooves on shafts and rotors. The insert’s ability to cut up to .250″ deep allows users to tackle larger stock sizes, while the .125″ width ensures fine detail work. Its compatibility with Large series toolholders means it can be employed in a variety of holder configurations, providing flexibility for both left‑hand and right‑hand machining strategies. Whether you are machining aerospace components, automotive parts, or general industrial hardware, the THINBIT LGT125D2L insert delivers the accuracy and durability required for high‑volume production.
