Hi
I have been using HSS parting tools but need a tool with a smaller tip width (2mm) for parting off (tubes mainly) but also some simple grooving. (I don't need to do any profiling with it.)
However I am limited on the travel of my ATC and therefore need a tool with as short a head length as possible; ideally 30mm. I have an external position in the ATC that can accommodate a 8mm square shank and was looking at the following but these are slightly too long (35mm and 37mm respectively.):
Might anyone be able to suggest some alternatives they are using?
