It's been a while since I've had to shop for inserts and holders. I am trying to cut a 1/2" groove, 1/2" deep into aluminum on a lathe. I'm looking for the correct insert and holder. Thanks

Hello Mathew,
Thank you for your inquiry!
What size shank tool do you need?
Is this in a manual or a cnc machine?
msc part# 01723931 with the # 58500109 insert will get it done if 3/4" tools are what you use
Thank you for your response. It's actually a 1/2" RADIUS groove. 3/4" Shank. Manual. I used to know the math to use a smaller radius insert and step down to create the radius. If I have to I will familiarize myself with that process. BTW, this is for a pipe bending fixture, thus the 1/2" groove to lay the 1/2" tubing in. Thanks again.
Hello Matthew,
Just checking up with you . Have you come up with a viable solution?
One way is to use MSC# 76741776 and machine 1/4" off the bottom along with insert# 56990864
then it would be a straight plunge cut
