Choice of tools and chip evacuation are important in face grooving. Check out our tips for a successful face grooving operation.

2024年9月30日 · Face grooving is a specialized machining process that creates grooves on the flat surfaces of a workpiece, primarily using a CNC lathe. This operation employs a dedicated cutting tool that moves perpendicular to the surface, enabling precise and clean groove formation.

2025年1月7日 · A face grooving tool moves along the material’s face in CNC lathe. Short cutting depth is preferred to get higher stability. High precision cutting fluids are used in fac grooving to improve chip control and its removal.

2024年4月30日 · Grooving is a process of making exact grooves in a workpiece, which is essential for the assembly of components like O-rings. The process is done using differently designed tools on the basis of dimensional, shape, and hardness considerations. The main techniques are straight turning, face grooving, and contouring.

2024年5月15日 · CNC grooving, also called recessing, is a popular machining process that machinists perform on the CNC lathe machine. The process creates a groove or recess in the material, usually a metal. Grooving is essential where there is a need to fit seals, O-rings, and related components.

2023年7月23日 · Face grooving focuses on creating grooves that are axially aligned with the workpiece. This process is often used when creating grooves on the end face of a part or component. It requires a face grooving tool, which can reach areas of …

2024年12月17日 · Face grooving involves cutting grooves on the flat face of a workpiece, such as a flange or disk. This is useful for sealing surfaces or aesthetic purposes. This type of grooving is performed to create recesses at the base of threads or in areas where tools cannot easily reach.

This article elucidates crucial insights into both selecting optimal face grooving tools and mastering the key principles of face grooving itself, providing indispensable guidance for precision machining.

2024年10月4日 · As the name suggests, it refers to creating grooves on the upfront face of the workpiece by aligning the tool in an axial direction with the workpiece. The face grooving tool inserts can reach the machining areas otherwise that are …

2024年1月8日 · The CNC grooving tool is built differently for face and radial grooving. In a radial grooving holder the support section under the insert is straight, while in a face grooving holder it is curved. Without the curve the holder will not enter the groove at all, and will foul with it.
