LGT040D2RFR THINBIT Grooving Insert 3 .040″ Width Uncoated Carbide

Description

Product Overview

The LGT040D2RFR THINBIT grooving insert is engineered by Kaiser Tool Company to meet the demanding requirements of modern machining operations. Each insert measures a compact 0.83 x 0.17 x 0.24 inches, providing a .040″ cutting width and a .100″ maximum depth capability. Constructed from uncoated DURA‑MAX 2000 carbide, the insert delivers exceptional wear resistance while maintaining a sharp cutting edge for interrupted cuts. The full‑radius geometry and thin‑bit design enable precise groove creation, arcs, and angles on steel, cast iron, and stainless steel. The product is supplied as a three‑piece pack, ensuring you have sufficient inventory for continuous production runs.

Usage

These inserts are ideal for a variety of turning and grooving applications where high precision and surface finish are critical. They perform exceptionally well in full‑radius grooving, multi‑directional turning, and parting operations up to .200″ stock thickness. The design allows the insert to cut flush to the collet face or shoulder of larger‑diameter workpieces, making it suitable for tight‑space machining and complex part geometries. Whether you are producing automotive components, aerospace parts, or general industrial hardware, the LGT040D2RFR provides reliable performance on both ferrous and non‑ferrous materials.
