Anyone have a recommendation for OD grooving tools? We typically use the Sandvik Top-Lok style (pictured) but the last couple of times I have went to order them they are backordered 6-8 weeks, and the price has become almost unbearable. We typically use them for cutting O-ring grooves and light profiling when needed. I like them because the same insert seat has a variety of cutting widths from 1/32+ as well as the full radius inserts. I am not opposed to jumping ship from Sandvik, and know that Kennametal has the same style of inserts, but wasn't sure what other shops were using and what was new and exciting in the last 12 years.
