Accupro ACC-G017Q-4 Retaining Ring Grooving Tool

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-G017Q-4 is a solid carbide retaining ring grooving tool designed for internal groove cutting operations in small-diameter bores. Built from submicron carbide grade material, it delivers the hardness and edge retention needed for precise, repeatable grooves in ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. With a 0.25 inch shank diameter and an overall length of 2.5 inches, this tool fits standard collet and toolholder setups commonly found on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. Machinists and toolroom professionals select this tool when tight groove geometry is required in confined bore applications.

This grooving tool is suited for internal retaining ring groove applications where minimum hole diameter starts at 0.25 inches and maximum hole depth reaches 0.25 inches. The 0.0175 inch groove width and 0.0600 inch projection are matched to standard retaining ring groove profiles at this bore size. It is typically used in precision machining environments including job shops, production floors, and maintenance repair operations requiring accurate internal groove placement in small bores.

Key Features

• 0.0175 inch groove width suits standard retaining ring groove profiles
• 0.0600 inch projection provides clearance within small-diameter bores
• 0.25 inch shank diameter fits common collet and toolholder systems
• 2.5 inch overall length accommodates standard lathe and turning center setups
• Designed for internal grooving at minimum bore diameters starting at 0.25 inches

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit grooving tool for CNC and manual turning applications requiring a 0.25 inch shank, 0.0175 inch groove width, and 0.25 inch maximum hole depth in retaining ring groove operations.

Installation Notes

Installation of this grooving tool should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with lathe tooling setup and internal boring operations. Secure the shank fully within the collet or toolholder to the recommended engagement depth before beginning any cutting operation. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the machine is locked out before changing or adjusting tooling. Follow the machine manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety standards when setting tool projection and depth stops.
