Hook-style turning tool 12 x 12 mm HM P25/P30, right-hand (Wilke) — turning tool for precise grooving with diamond-ground carbide tips

A Hook-style turning tool 12 x 12 mm HM P25/P30, right-hand (Wilke) designed for repeatable grooving and finishing operations where tool life and surface quality matter

• Solid carbide P25/P30 grade
• Diamond-ground carbide cutting tips
• Right-hand cutting direction
• 4 mm grooving capability

Consistent groove quality through premium carbide and tip geometry

The combination of P25/P30 carbide and diamond-ground cutting tips delivers high wear resistance and predictable tool performance. This construction minimises edge wear and maintains cutting geometry over longer runs, which reduces rework and improves first-pass yield. The 12 x 12 mm cross-section together with the 4 mm grooving capability offers controlled chip formation and repeatable groove width, making it suitable for operations that demand consistent dimensional accuracy and surface finish.

Stable tool support for reduced vibration and accurate depths

A solid steel shank and a total length of 160 mm provide the rigidity required for stable cutting conditions. The WN263 specification indicates compatibility with standard holder geometries, enabling secure clamping and reduced micro-movement during cutting. The result is lower vibration, improved surface integrity and more accurate groove depths, which contributes to longer insert life and fewer rejects in serial production environments.

Efficient workshop integration and predictable maintenance intervals

The tool’s inserted carbide tips and standardised geometry allow straightforward replacement and integration into existing turning tool setups. Predictable wear characteristics mean maintenance intervals can be planned, reducing unplanned downtime. The right-hand cutting orientation is optimised for conventional lathe feeds and supports effective chip evacuation. For workshop procurement, the tool is supplied in practical units to support stock planning and rapid replacement when required.
