MFL Left-Hand Micro Face Grooving Bar Overview
The MFL series is a precision-ground solid carbide micro face grooving bar designed for left-hand machining of face grooves in small bores and restricted internal features. Its compact cutting geometry provides controlled access to confined machining areas, while the integral carbide construction supports rigidity, dimensional consistency and stable cutting performance in precision CNC turning applications.
Model Identification Guide
Identify the suitable MFL model according to tool series, left-hand cutting direction, shank diameter, groove width, working length and overall tool length.

Key Configuration
Machinable Materials
MFL solid carbide micro face grooving bars can be applied to precision components made from steel, stainless steel, cast iron and selected non-ferrous materials. Final cutting parameters should be adjusted according to material hardness, groove dimensions and machine stability.
| Материал | Типовые применения |
|---|---|
| Углеродистая сталь | Precision mechanical parts, shafts, sleeves and small turned components. |
| Легированная сталь | Wear-resistant components requiring stable groove dimensions and surface quality. |
| Нержавеющая сталь | Medical, electronic and corrosion-resistant precision components. |
| Чугун | Small housings, sleeves and precision face-groove features. |
| Non-Ferrous Materials | Aluminum, copper and other materials with application-matched edge preparation. |
Key Product Advantages
Dedicated left-hand geometry supports reverse tool approach and machining setups where conventional right-hand tools cannot obtain suitable access.
Compact cutting geometry provides controlled access to narrow face grooves and restricted internal features in miniature components.
The integral solid carbide body improves rigidity and helps reduce cutting vibration during precision face-grooving operations.
Precision-ground geometry supports consistent groove width, controlled cutting action and repeatable dimensional performance.
Groove width, groove depth, minimum machining diameter, working length, shank size, coating and marking can be customized according to drawings.
Why Choose MFL Micro Face Grooving Bars
| Характеристика | Conventional Tools | MFL Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Tool Access | Standard orientation may not suit reverse or confined machining positions. | Left-hand geometry supports application-specific tool approach. |
| Rigidity | Long or less rigid tooling may increase vibration in small bores. | Solid carbide construction improves stability and vibration control. |
| Groove Consistency | Cutting instability may affect groove width and surface finish. | Precision-ground edges support consistent groove dimensions. |

Recommended Selection Parameters
Machining Guidelines
Follow these setup and machining recommendations to improve cutting stability, groove accuracy and tool life when using solid carbide micro face grooving bars.
Securely clamp the tool before machining and keep the tool overhang as short as possible to reduce vibration and cutting-edge damage.
Set the cutting edge on the spindle centerline or up to 0.05 mm below it. Do not position the cutting edge above the centerline.
For face-grooving operations, begin at the larger groove diameter and progress toward the smaller diameter.
Apply suitable coolant and maintain effective chip evacuation to prevent chip packing, edge chipping and poor groove finish.
Use the tool for controlled radial face-grooving operations. Avoid lateral cutting or side turning unless the tool geometry is specifically designed for it.
Where machining conditions allow, begin with a cutting speed of 40 m/min or higher and keep the feed rate within 0.05 mm/rev.
Parameter Note: Actual cutting parameters should be adjusted according to the workpiece material, groove diameter, tool overhang, coating, coolant supply and machine rigidity.
