Offering a range of tooling and insert solutions for grooving applications across all industry sectors, the Groovex portfolio comprises:
· Laydown Grooving – the Vargus standard line for general use in grooving applications, available in a wide range of sizes and profiles (square, DIN 472/471, round and DIN 76 thread undercuts) for both external and internal applications. Groove depths of 0.35 mm-2 mm and widths of 1.19 mm-2.24 mm can be achieved.
