What Is a Grooving Tool?

A grooving tool is a motorized cutter, also called a grooving tool cutter, for digging grooves in wood.

Despite being a relatively heavy machine, the grooving tool is capable of digging grooves with high precision.

At first glance, grooving tools look similar to circular saws, and it is necessary to carefully understand the characteristics and differences between them before selecting the appropriate tool for use.

In some cases, a circular saw can be used in place of a grooving tool.

Uses of Grooving Tools

The grooving tools were originally developed for grooving thresholds and duckways.

Grooving tools can be used to dig highly precise grooves not only for making thresholds but also for other purposes.

How to Choose Grooving Tools

Here are some points to consider when choosing grooving tools:

Weight

Typical grooving tools weigh between 4kg and 7kg. Large grooving tools are heavier and more difficult to handle, but they are also more stable.

Types of Blades

There are two main types of grooving tool blades: the free-form cutter blade and the seven-minute cutter blade.

  • Self-rotating cutter blade
    The width of the groove can be determined by twisting and rotating the blade. Since the width is created by twisting the blade, the wider the groove, the more rounded the bottom of the groove. Also, the larger the groove width, the greater the twisting of the blade and the greater the vibration.
  • Seventh Cutter Blade
    Seventh cutter blades are used in the processing of thresholds. The width of the blade itself makes it possible to dig grooves. Therefore, the width of the groove cannot be changed. The bottom of the groove will be horizontal if you use a 70% cutter blade. In addition to processing lintel thresholds, it is also used for processing studs and side panels of stairs.

There is no major difference between old and new grooving tools, as their functions have not changed significantly from ancient times to the present.
