TGF32L100 LF6018 Deskar 1.0mm Vertical-Clamp Grooving Insert for CNC Lathe

The DESKAR TGF32L100 LF6018 is a left-hand, vertical-clamp (TGF32 series) carbide grooving insert, specialized for precision shallow grooving, snap-ring (retaining ring) grooves, and light cutoff on CNC lathes and Swiss-type machines. Designed for 1.0 mm width grooves, it features a sharp, stable cutting edge and LF6018 PVD-coated grade, delivering low vibration, accurate groove dimension, and good surface finish in steels and stainless steels. Ideal for high-volume production of small-to-medium parts requiring narrow, shallow grooves.
