Micro 100 FG-375-125 Grooving Tool – Face Grooving, 1/8″ Width, .100″ Proj, 3/8″ Min Bore Dia, 1-1/4″ Max Bore Depth, 3/16″ Offset, 3/8″ Shank Dia, 2-1/2″ OAL, Uncoated

Description

Product Overview

The Micro 100 FG-375-125 Face Grooving Tool is engineered for generating precise square grooves on the face of machined parts. With a polished split face design and sharp corner profile, this uncoated insert ensures superior edge retention and efficient chip evacuation during heavy-duty operations. Designed to withstand deep bore applications up to 1-1/4″ depth with relief ground geometry to prevent interference. The tool’s rigid construction and optimized offset (3/16″) ensure stability and accuracy in high-speed machining environments.

Usage

This insert is ideal for industrial machinists working with metal parts requiring face grooving, such as hydraulic fittings, valve bodies, or structural components. It performs best in CNC and conventional milling setups where deep bore machining is required without compromising tool life. The 3/8″ shank diameter ensures compatibility with standard collets and chucks, while the 2-1/2″ overall length allows for easy handling and precise positioning. Suitable for both small batch production and continuous manufacturing lines.
