Mitsubishi Materials Corporation Metalworking Solutions Company has announced that it has added 8 items of the 0° holder type and 16 items of the 90° holder type to the range of GT Holders for external grooving of small parts, this makes a total of new 24 items. They will go on sale from 1^st August.

In recent years due to the miniaturization of parts, there has been a large increase in demand for small high-precision parts processing such as E-ring grooving, which requires high groove width accuracy, and O-ring processing, which requires an excellent component surface finish.

In response to the increase in demand from the market, Mitsubishi Materials will expand the selection of GT holders for external grooving tools for shallow grooving of small parts.
