grooving
A turning operation in which a single-point tool moves radially, into the side of the workpiece, cutting a groove equal in width to the cutting tool. If the desired groove width is larger than the tool width, multiple adjacent grooves will be cut. A profiling cut can be performed to smooth the surface of multiple grooves. Special form tools can also be used to create grooves of varying geometries.
