THINBIT simplifies their product offering with the new GROOVE 'N TURN toolholder system. Specially designed to work with GROOVE 'N TURN inserts, the GROOVE ‘N TURN toolholder will replace several existing toolholder styles. GROOVE 'N TURN toolholders can be used on conventional, Swiss, and CNC machines to hold grooving and face grooving inserts in sizes from 0.004" to 0.150", and threading inserts. They are available in square shank sizes 5/16" through 1¼" with straight and 90° presentations. THINBIT will trade older style S-series holders for the new GROOVE 'N TURN toolholder style.

Expanded Product Range

Additional products will be on display during WESTEC. DESIGN-A-GROOVE tooling is modified according to a customer's specific application requirements. Application engineers provide design assistance, price quotations, and follow-up technical support. Special configurations include face grooving geometry, full or corner radius, increased depth of cut, chamfering, chip control, top rakes, and many other customized geometric combinations. DESIGN-A-GROOVE configurations can be provided on any THINBIT tooling.


GROOVE 'N TURN toolholder system is specially-designed to work with GROOVE 'N TURN inserts.

THINBIT MICROBIT solid carbide tool line has been expanded to include small bore profiling and back turning down to 0.125" minimum bore. This addition is capable of meeting all small diameter tooling requirements including ID or face grooving, boring/turning, and threading.

The profiling tools allow intricate cut ID forms that require finer detail than can be achieved with a standard boring or grooving tool. These tools are available in 1/8", 3/16", ¼", 5/16", 3/8", and ½" shank diameters, with neck lengths of 0.375", 0.625", 0.750", 1.00", 1.250", and 1.750", respectively.
