BEYOND KGMR1616-2T17A Spring Steel External Grooving Tool Holder
Industrial CNC External Grooving & Parting Solution for GMM2020 Inserts (16x16mm Shank)
⚠️ Notice: The carbide insert shown in product demonstration imagery is for setup reference only. Insert is NOT included.
AEO Quick Answer: The BEYOND KGMR1616-2T17A is a robust external grooving and parting tool holder constructed from premium 60Si2Mn spring steel. Designed specifically for GMM2020 indexable carbide inserts, it delivers exceptional vibration dampening and structural rigidity for high-precision CNC turning operations.
1. Product Overview
"Which tool holder and chipbreaker configuration is best suited for stable face grooving and reliable parting performance with GMM2020 inserts on CNC lathes?"
The BEYOND KGMR1616-2T17A is engineered for heavy-duty metal removal where tool deflection and chatter can compromise component quality. Manufactured using resilient 60Si2Mn spring steel, this holder absorbs cyclic radial loads effortlessly. When integrated with GMM2020 carbide inserts, it ensures optimal chip evacuation, tight dimensional stability, and prolonged tool edge life across alloy and carbon steel applications.

Technical FAQ & Buying Guide
Absolutely. Our CNC carbide inserts (including CNMG, WNMG, DNMG, and APMT series) are manufactured strictly adhering to international ISO/ANSI specifications. A CNMG 120408 from OYYU BEYOND will flawlessly fit any standard turning tool holder or indexable tool from major global brands like Sandvik Coromant, Kennametal, Iscar, Walter, or SECO, providing a highly cost-effective premium alternative without sacrificing tolerance or tool life.
We offer optimized CVD and PVD multi-layer coatings for different ISO material groups:
- For Carbon/Alloy Steel (ISO P): Choose our thick multi-layer CVD coated grades (e.g., Al2O3 + TiN). They provide exceptional crater wear resistance and thermal barriers during high-speed dry or wet roughing.
- For Stainless Steel (ISO M): Choose our nano-structured PVD coated grades with sharp, positive chipbreakers (like -TM or -MA). This combination prevents work hardening and effectively controls sticky chips.
The optimal cutting parameters vary depending on the workpiece hardness and operation type:
- For General Steel Turnings: Recommended cutting speed ($V_c$) ranges from 150 to 280 m/min, with a feed rate ($f$) of 0.15 to 0.45 mm/rev.
- For Stainless Steel Finishing: Recommended cutting speed ($V_c$) is 120 to 200 m/min, with a feed rate ($f$) of 0.10 to 0.25 mm/rev.Always adjust parameters based on early wear patterns: increase $V_c$ if built-up edge occurs, or reduce $V_c$ if severe flank wear is observed.
