But when it works it works great.
Heh, yeah I've had that too. What I love about Thinbit was getting customs from them very quickly, and at reasonable prices. Not sure if that's still the case (it's been years), but I hope so.
Just wondering what you guys use for .062" grooves that are deeper than a top-lok will reach, a few common insert types seem to stop at 3mm(.118") deep.
Looking for something closer to 4-5mm deep and good quality.
thanks
IIRC you use Sandvik tools a fair bit?
I use the Corocut XS system for that. I have a box right next to me on my desk right now that are 1mm width and 6mm max depth - MACL 3 100-N
It's a good system and not limited to grooving, there are screwcutting and turning inserts also.
Thinbit still ships customs for under $20 in a couple days. Great tools for applications like this. That's the first place I'd look. If it was going to be a high production part, I'd examine the ISCAR Pentacut line and see if they had a suitable insert.
I was in the same boat as you a few years ago with a .094 requirement, and someone here told me aboot the deep groovers from Kenna for your Top Notch.
You just need to add a "D" to the designation:
NGD3094RK KC5025
These worked good for me in my app.
IDK what other sizes that they have available in the Deep groovers, but I would guess .062 to be in there.
Now these are one sided.
The deep groove end sticks out further than normal, so it won't turn over for side 2.
