Parting & Grooving

Parting and grooving is a category of turning. It has a

wide range of machining applications requiring dedicated
tools.
These tools can be used, to some extent, for general
turning.

Chip evacuation is essential
Parting and

Chip evacuation is a critical factor in parting operations.

grooving

There is little opportunity to break chips in the confined

space as the tool moves deeper. The cutting edge is
designed largely to form the chip so it can be evacuated
C smoothly. Consequences of poor chip evacuation are chip
obstruction which leads to poor surface quality and chip
jamming, leading to tool breakdown.

 A Theory

Grooving– definition of terms

Turning

The tool movement in direction X and Z is called feed rate

(fn), or fnx/fnz [mm/r]. When feeding towards centre (fnx),
B the rpm will increase until it reaches the rpm limit of the
machine spindle. When this limitation is passed, the cut-
ting speed (vc) will decrease until it reaches 0 m/min at
the component centre.
