BDKT-R 1212 K2C T15 – operation with MGMN inserts
What this tool can do, screw clamping and a double-edged insert
Parting tool 2 mm BDKT-R 1212 K2C T15 is a Smoxh tool holder for parting off workpieces from bar stock and cutting external grooves. The MGMN 200 carbide insert is secured by a screw clamp from above: the BKTV M5x17 screw draws the flexible lip of the head against the insert. Replacement takes a dozen or so seconds, without removing the tool from the tool post.
The insert is supported by the narrow blade of the head, 15 mm long — this is the cutting depth T max. Beyond this point, the body widens to the shank width, so only the blade fits into the 2 mm slot. This limits the tool to parting off bars up to Ø30 mm, or twice T max.
Dimension S = 12.3 mm means that the cutting edge projects 0.3 mm beyond the side of the 12 mm wide shank. This lets you cut close to the chuck jaws without the shank rubbing against the workpiece face. The 12x12 mm shank with a length of 100 mm fits the tool posts of small lathes and automatic lathes.
The MGMN 200 insert has two cutting edges at opposite ends. When the first becomes dull, rotate the insert by 180° and use the second.
What this tool can do – parting and grooving
Parting – cutting a part off a bar
The blade enters the bar all the way to the axis and the part separates. Bars up to Ø30 mm, a 2 mm kerf, and material loss limited to the insert width.
Cutting external grooves
A 2 mm groove between shaft shoulders or a retaining ring groove at the end of a journal, up to 15 mm deep. Cut wider grooves with several adjacent passes.
Screw clamping from above
The BKTV M5x17 screw draws the flexible lip of the head against the insert. Change the insert with an AA4 key without removing the tool from the tool post.
Double-edged insert
MGMN 200 has a cutting edge at both ends. One edge dull? Rotate the insert by 180° and use the other.
Material loss: 2 mm
Each parting cut turns only 2 mm of bar into chips. For 100 parts, this consumes 10 cm less bar than a tool with a 3 mm insert.

Measure T max from the insert tip to the point where the blade transitions into the wider head. Grooves up to 15 mm deep can also be cut in bars larger than Ø30 mm.
At the end of the cut, the insert tip is at the bar centerline and the shoulder of the head touches the bar surface. The second panel shows the cutting edge height: the edge must be on the centerline within ±0.1 mm. An edge below center leaves a pip; above center, it rubs against the material.

Parting data – speeds and feeds for a 2 mm insert
Starting values with coolant; refer to the insert grade data sheet for definitive data
The table provides starting values for coated MGMN 200 inserts with coolant. Select the upper speed range when clamping is rigid and tool overhang is short.
| Workpiece material | Vc [m/min] | fn [mm/rev] |
|---|---|---|
| PCarbon steel | 150–200 | 0.05–0.12 |
| PAlloy steel | 130–180 | 0.05–0.12 |
| PHardened steel | 90–130 | 0.05–0.10 |
| MStainless steel | 130–160 | 0.05–0.12 |
| KCast iron | 150–210 | 0.05–0.12 |
Starting spindle speed: n = (1000 × Vc) / (π × D). For a Ø30 mm carbon steel bar at Vc = 180 m/min: n = (1000 × 180) / (3.14 × 30) ≈ 1910 rpm. At constant spindle speed, the cutting speed decreases to zero at the centerline, so enable constant surface speed (G96) with a spindle speed limit on a CNC lathe.
Do not part off bars larger than Ø30 mm: the shoulder of the head will contact the material before the cutting edge reaches the centerline. Keep overhang from the tool post as short as possible. Over the final 2 mm before the centerline, reduce the feed by as much as 75% and direct coolant straight into the cut.
Installing the MGMN 200 insert in 3 steps

Inserts from other grooving systems, such as DGN, GTN or KGM, do not fit the pocket. The 2 mm BDKT-R 1212 K2C T15 parting tool combines a 12x12 mm shank with quick insert replacement under a screw-clamped lip. Its 15 mm cutting depth and compatibility with MGMN 200 inserts make it a basic tool for parting and grooving bars up to Ø30 mm. In series production on automatic and CNC lathes, it parts off workpieces from bar stock in every cycle.
Frequently asked questions
An MGMN 200 parting insert (in the Smoxh catalog: MGM. 2C) with a width of 2.0 mm, length of 16 mm, and height of 3.5 mm. It is double-ended, so one insert provides two cutting edges. DGN, GTN, and KGM inserts do not fit this pocket.
Ø30 mm, which is twice the cutting depth T max = 15 mm. For thicker bars, choose the 1616 K2C T18 version (up to Ø36 mm) or T21 (up to Ø42 mm). Grooves shallower than 15 mm can also be cut on larger diameters.
The right-hand R version is standard: the workpiece is held in the chuck to the left of the tool. Choose the left-hand L version (code SM09691) when the workpiece is clamped on the opposite side of the tool or when the tool post arrangement on your lathe requires it. Both versions have identical dimensions.
A pip remains when the cutting edge is not on the lathe centerline. Set it within ±0.1 mm and check that the insert is fully seated in the pocket. Over the final 2 mm before the centerline, reduce the feed by as much as 75%.
