The Carmex Small Indexable Carbide Insert is built for precise internal face grooving, delivering dependable performance in tight recesses and demanding materials. It’s designed for shops performing internal machining where consistent groove dimensions matter.

• Min Bore: Internal minimum bore diameter of 14.0 mm (0.55 in), compatible with common internal grooving tools.
• Groove Depth: 5 mm groove depth for robust internal grooves in a single pass where geometry permits.
• Width: 2 mm cutting width for tight groove pockets and fine-detail finishing.
• Insert Size/Indexing: T10 indexing configuration, enabling multiple cutting edges and efficient tool utilization.
• Material & Coating: Carbide substrate with BLU PVD triple-layer coating, a sub-micron grade engineered for wear resistance and high-temperature performance.
• Material Compatibility: Suited for stainless steels, cast iron, titanium, non-ferrous metals, and most high-temperature alloys (M10–M20, K05–K20, N10–N20, S10–S20).
• Applications: Specifically optimized for internal face grooving and related internal machining operations.

Benefits: With a hardened carbide base and BLU PVD coating, this insert delivers durable wear resistance and stable cutting performance across challenging materials. The 14 mm min bore ensures secure seating in internal grooving tools, while the 5 mm groove depth and 2 mm width support tight, repeatable groove dimensions. The T10 indexable design provides multiple edge opportunities for cost-efficient use. In practice, you’ll experience fewer insert changes, tighter tolerances, and a smoother surface finish on internal features of components made from stainless steel, cast iron, titanium, and high-temperature alloys.
