The grooving inserts are a combination of ground profile and sintered chip-breaker.
* Same toolholder for grooving and threading.
* Minimum investment in tooling.
* Three cutting edges.
* Precision ground.
* Improved chip control.

# TDXU has an advanced chipbreaker that will produce thin and narrow chips in grooving applications. The low cutting force design of TDXU insert permits it to be applied at higher machining conditions than normal, yet maintain an ability to evacuate chips without causing damage to the workpiece.
# TDXU can be used on the following seven machining processes.
External Grooving & Turning – Face Grooving & Turning
Internal Grooving & Turning – Parting-off
MiniPro addresses the needs of miniature grooving with two solutions - MicroScope solid carbide grooving tools for holes down to 2mm diameter, and the Mini System - a family of indexable threading and grooving inserts and holders for grooving in holes down to 6.1 mm diameter.
