Walter Cut G1111-P/GX24 AF5

The system handles axial grooves from dia. 2.362-in (60 mm), cutting depths up to 1.299-in (33 mm), with insert width of 0.197-in (5 mm). The new system delivers maximum productivity and cutting parameters due to optimal cooling, strength and controlled chip breaking, along with high cost-efficiency due to two cutting edges. Axial grooving is effective when the groove depth is 1.5 times greater than the groove width, but to be successful axial grooving requires dedicated tooling and a dedicated chip control insert.
