Grooving and parting are operations frequently performed on the lathe. This grooving tool uses a replace-
able insert that clamps into a special thin holder for performing deep face grooving. The insert can be
reversed, allowing a quick change to a new cutting edge when one becomes dull or damaged. Inserts for
grooves ranging from 2 mm to 6 mm in width are available. (Iscar Metals, Inc.)
