Tube Sheet Groover

Tube sheet groover tools feature a unique approach for manufacturing two grooves simultaneously -- especially in heat exchanger manufacturing. All tubes need a finish operation to connect them, and our grooving KCU45™ inserts are a special grade for machining a wide variety of materials including low-carbon steel, stainless steel, and nickel alloys. The geometry leads to a burr-free cut, flexibility in hole diameter, and an interrupted cut for effective chip control. The minimal amount of tungsten carbide used in the insert eliminates the need for refurbishment enabling the tool to work faster with a lower cost per hole.
