Accupro ACC-G025K-6 Retaining Ring Grooving Tool

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-G025K-6 is a solid carbide retaining ring grooving tool designed for cutting internal retaining ring grooves in small-diameter bores. Built from submicron-grade solid carbide, it delivers the rigidity and edge retention needed for precise groove geometry in tight tolerances. The tool has a 3/16 inch shank diameter and an overall length of 2 inches. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals use this tool in CNC lathes, manual lathes, and boring setups where consistent groove width and depth are critical to proper retaining ring seating.

This grooving tool is suited for internal bore applications in both production and maintenance machining environments. It is designed for use in small-diameter bores with a minimum hole diameter of 0.187 inches and a maximum hole depth of 0.375 inches. The 0.050 inch projection allows controlled groove cutting at shallow to moderate depths. Typical applications include hydraulic cylinder components, precision housings, pump shafts, and any assembly requiring a seated retaining ring to secure axial position of a component.

Key Features

• Solid submicron-grade carbide construction for edge retention and dimensional consistency
• Groove width of 0.0255 inches for precise retaining ring seat geometry
• 3/16 inch shank diameter compatible with standard small-bore toolholders
• 0.050 inch projection for controlled depth engagement in shallow to medium bores
• Minimum hole diameter of 0.187 inches allows use in tight bore applications
• Maximum hole depth of 0.375 inches suits most standard retaining ring groove depths

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fit for lathes and CNC turning centers that accept 3/16 inch shank grooving toolholders for internal retaining ring groove operations.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed and used by machinists in lathe or CNC turning center setups. Always secure the shank firmly in a compatible toolholder and verify runout before cutting. Ensure the workpiece is properly chucked and the machine is at a complete stop before changing or inspecting the tool. Do not exceed the maximum hole depth rating of 0.375 inches, as overextension beyond the rated projection can cause tool deflection or breakage.
