MGEHL 2020-4 Varel – insert clamping and cutting depth
What this tool can do, screw clamping and a double-edged insert
In this line, Varel offers left-hand parting tool 4 mm MGEHL 2020-4 with screw clamping of the insert. The holder parts off bars up to Ø36 mm and cuts external grooves 4 mm wide. The MGMN 400 insert sits in the seat under a flexible lip tightened by a screw.
Dimension S = 20.4 mm means that the cutting edge projects 0.4 mm beyond the side of the 20 mm wide shank. This allows cutting close to the chuck jaws without the shank rubbing against the workpiece face. The 20x20 mm shank with a length of 125 mm is a common size for tool posts on conventional and CNC lathes.
The MGMN 400 insert has two cutting edges at opposite ends. When the first becomes dull, rotate the insert by 180° and use the second.
The insert is supported by the narrow blade of the head, 18 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 4 mm slot. This limits the tool to parting off bars up to Ø36 mm, or twice T max.
Parting off bars up to Ø36 mm and cutting 4 mm grooves
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 Ø36 mm, a 4 mm kerf, and material loss limited to the insert width.
Cutting external grooves
A 4 mm groove between shaft shoulders or a retaining ring groove at the end of a journal, up to 18 mm deep. Cut wider grooves with several adjacent passes.
Screw clamping from above
The screw pulls the head's flexible lip down against the insert. The insert can be replaced without removing the tool from the tool post.
Double-edged insert
MGMN 400 has a cutting edge at both ends. One edge dull? Rotate the insert by 180° and use the other.
Material loss: 4 mm
Each parting cut turns only 4 mm of bar into chips. For 100 parts, this consumes 10 cm less bar than a tool with a 5 mm insert.

Measure T max from the insert tip to the point where the blade transitions into the wider head. Grooves up to 18 mm deep can also be cut in bars larger than Ø36 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 4 mm insert
Starting values with coolant; refer to the insert grade data sheet for definitive data
The table provides starting values for coated MGMN 400 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 | 120–200 | 0.07–0.15 |
| PAlloy steel | 130–180 | 0.07–0.15 |
| PHardened steel | 70–130 | 0.07–0.12 |
| MStainless steel | 120–160 | 0.07–0.15 |
| KCast iron | 130–210 | 0.07–0.15 |
Starting spindle speed: n = (1000 × Vc) / (π × D). For a Ø36 mm carbon steel bar at Vc = 170 m/min: n = (1000 × 170) / (3.14 × 36) ≈ 1500 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.

Operating limitations
Do not part off bars larger than Ø36 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.

Inserts from other grooving systems, such as DGN, GTN or KGM, do not fit the seat. The 4 mm MGEHL 2020-4 left-hand parting tool combines a 20x20 mm shank with quick insert replacement in a screw-clamped lip. The cutting depth of 18 mm and compatibility with MGMN 400 inserts make it a basic tool for parting and grooving bars up to Ø36 mm. In metalworking and fabrication shops, it parts off pins, spacers and bushings from bar stock.
Frequently asked questions
An MGMN 400 parting insert (Korloy MGT system) with a width of 4.0 mm, length of 21 mm and height of 4.8 mm. It is double-ended, so each insert provides two cutting edges. DGN, GTN and KGM inserts do not fit this pocket.
Ø36 mm, or twice the cutting depth T max = 18 mm. Larger bars require a holder with a greater cutting depth T max. Grooves shallower than 18 mm can also be cut on larger diameters.
Yes. The holder cuts external grooves 4 mm wide and up to 18 mm deep. An insert with -M or -T geometry also allows turning with the side of the insert, but with a depth of cut up to 0.8 × 4 mm = 3.2 mm per pass.
Up to 18 mm, which is the holder's T max. In a single pass, the groove width equals the insert width of 4 mm; wider grooves require several adjacent passes. For deep grooves, retract the insert every few millimeters to clear chips.
