Top Notch™ Grooving
If your applications require you to work with many different workpiece materials and feed rates, you must take steps to control vibrations and chipping. After all, too much chatter leaves you with inconsistent and rough results. To help you improve machining processes, Kennametal has developed Top Notch grooving tools and tool holders. Kennametal Top Notch tools include boring bars, CBN inserts, heads, and cartridges.
