PCD Grooving Inserts
Are you struggling with rapid tool wear, built-up edge, or poor surface finishes during grooving operations?
Sundi PCD Grooving Inserts utilize advanced Polycrystalline Diamond technology to deliver a tool life that is 20x to 50x longer than standard carbide tools. Designed specifically for grooving aluminum alloys, copper, brass, and abrasive plastics, Sundi ensures dimensional stability and consistent high-precision performance.
Versatile Grooving Solutions by Sundi
We offer a comprehensive range of PCD Grooving Inserts tailored to various machining needs, whether you are performing external, internal, or face grooving.
External Grooving: Rigid insert designs for heavy-duty grooving in automotive components.
Internal Grooving: Vibration-dampening geometries for deep bore grooving.
Face Grooving: Specialized holders and inserts for precise face grooving operations.
Profile Grooving: Custom Sundi PCD profiles for complex groove shapes and specific contours.
Ideal Materials for Sundi PCD Grooving Tools
Please note: PCD Grooving Inserts are strictly designed for non-ferrous materials. Using them on ferrous metals (Iron/Steel) will cause rapid chemical wear and failure.
Aluminum Alloys: Perfect for grooving pistons, wheels, gearboxes, and aerospace structural parts.
Copper & Brass: Ideal for grooving electronic connectors, fittings, and commutators.
Carbon Fiber (CFRP): Clean cutting without delamination during grooving.
Engineering Plastics: Smooth finishes for PEEK, Acrylic, and Nylon grooving.
- High wear resistance
- Reduce the machine time
- Stable Performance
- Easy to use
Why Choose Sundi PCD for Your Grooving Applications?
When it comes to grooving non-ferrous materials, standard tools often fail due to built-up edge (BUE) and rapid abrasion. Sundi PCD Grooving Inserts solve these challenges.
-
1. Unmatched Wear Resistance in Abrasive Grooving
High-silicon aluminum (Si > 12%), commonly used in automotive pistons, is notoriously abrasive. Sundi PCD grooving grades maintain a sharp cutting edge significantly longer, ensuring that your grooving width and tolerances remain stable over thousands of parts.
-
2. Mirror-Finish Grooving Quality
Achieve a surface roughness of Ra 0.4 or better. The ultra-low friction coefficient of our diamond tips prevents chips from welding to the tool during the grooving process. This eliminates galling and ensures a pristine, mirror-like finish on the groove walls and bottom.
-
3. High-Speed Grooving Capability
Boost your productivity. Sundi PCD allows for significantly higher cutting speeds (Vc) in grooving cycles compared to carbide, reducing cycle time and increasing your daily throughput.

FAQ
Most frequent questions and answers
A: In high-silicon aluminum applications, a Sundi PCD Grooving Insert can last 20 to 50 times longer than a coated carbide insert. This significantly reduces machine downtime associated with changing tools during high-volume grooving.
A: No. PCD (Diamond) reacts with the carbon in steel at high cutting temperatures. For steel grooving, please view our CBN Grooving range.
A: Yes! We specialize in custom PCD Grooving tools. If you need a specific full-radius, chamfered, or profiled grooving insert, simply send us your drawing.
