I'm looking for recommendations on inserts for grooving plastic.
I have some mirror polished razor sharp carbide inserts from seco for turning, I am wondering if anybody uses anything similar for grooving?
I'm always creating interrupted cuts with live tooling for a chip breaker etc, but for the fine finish on grooves I need something sharp.
Aside from a route such as the link, which would make life simple. The grooves are .153" I need to do, I have made thousands of plastic parts, but I'm never as happy with the groove surface finish as I am with the OD finish.
Kit #32 3/4 inch Groover
.125" Cut-off Groover Right Hand
Or is anyone using good carbide ground and polished inserts they can link?
Thanks
