What is grooving? In fact, in all tool cutting, regardless of metal or non-metal tool material, regardless of workpiece rotation or tool rotation machining method, as long as the groove tool is used to cut grooves on the workpiece, it can be unified as a cutting tool. Slotting. External groove machining is the simplest, as shown in the figure below, the machining form of outer groove cutting is convenient, and it is easy to remove chips under the action of gravity and coolant. In addition, the machining of the outer groove is fully visible to the operator, who can check the machining quality directly and relatively easily. However, some potential obstacles in workpiece design or clamping must also be avoided.

In any grooving process, the type design and technical conditions of the machining center are also essential elements to consider. The main performance requirements of the machining center include: sufficient machining capacity, high-speed spindle can ensure that the tool runs in the correct speed range, there will be no speed drop or vibration; There is enough rigidity to complete the required cutting process without generating flutter and damaging the surface finish of the workpiece; In the case of sufficiently high coolant pressure and flow, the functional design of the water outlet in the center of the spindle of the chip removal machining center can meet this processing requirement.
