Accupro ACC-G017K-8 Retaining Ring Grooving Tool

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-G017K-8 is a solid carbide retaining ring grooving tool designed for cutting internal retaining ring grooves in bored or drilled holes. Built from submicron-grade solid carbide, it delivers the edge retention and dimensional accuracy required for precision groove work in production and maintenance machining environments. The tool features a 3/16 inch shank diameter and an overall length of 2 inches, with a projection of 0.05 inches. It is suited for machinists and tool-and-die professionals working on CNC lathes, boring mills, and manual turning centers where consistent groove geometry is critical.

This grooving tool is used in applications that require internal retaining ring grooves in small-diameter bores. With a minimum hole diameter of 0.187 inches and a maximum hole depth of 0.5 inches, it is well matched for tight-bore work in hydraulic components, pneumatic cylinders, small motor housings, and precision assemblies. The submicron carbide grade makes it appropriate for harder workpiece materials and extended run cycles in both job-shop and production settings.

Key Features

• Solid submicron-grade carbide construction for superior edge life and wear resistance
• Designed specifically for cutting internal retaining ring grooves
• 3/16 inch shank diameter fits standard collet and toolholder systems
• Minimum hole diameter of 0.187 inches enables work in small bores
• Maximum hole depth of 0.5 inches supports a range of bore lengths
• Compact 2 inch overall length for use in confined tooling setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit grooving tool for machine tool setups requiring a 3/16 inch shank retaining ring grooving tool in bores with a minimum diameter of 0.187 inches.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists. Secure the shank firmly in a collet or toolholder rated for the shank diameter before beginning any cut. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe state before mounting or removing the tool. Do not exceed the maximum hole depth of 0.5 inches, and verify workpiece material compatibility with solid carbide tooling before running.
