Accupro ACC-G025Q-10 Retaining Ring Grooving Tool

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-G025Q-10 is a solid carbide retaining ring grooving tool designed for internal grooving operations where precise groove geometry is required. Built from submicron-grade solid carbide, this tool delivers consistent performance in bore grooving applications. The 1/4 inch shank diameter and 0.0255 inch groove width make it well suited for tight-tolerance work. At 2.5 inches overall length, the ACC-G025Q-10 is compact enough for close-quarter setups while still providing the reach needed for standard bore depths. Machinists and toolroom professionals install this tool on CNC lathes and boring machines where retaining ring groove placement demands accuracy and repeatability.

This grooving tool is intended for internal retaining ring groove cutting in bores with a minimum hole diameter of 0.2500 inches. Maximum hole depth is 0.625 inches, making it appropriate for shallow-bore grooving on precision components. The 0.0600 inch projection supports controlled depth engagement during the grooving pass. Typical applications include light manufacturing, toolroom work, and production machining environments where retaining ring grooves must be cut cleanly and consistently in small-diameter bores.

Key Features

• Solid submicron-grade carbide construction for wear resistance and edge retention
• 0.0255 inch groove width engineered for standard retaining ring fitment
• 1/4 inch shank diameter for compatibility with standard toolholders
• 0.0600 inch projection for controlled depth engagement
• Compact 2.5 inch overall length suits close-quarter and small-bore setups
• Maximum bore depth of 0.625 inches accommodates shallow internal groove applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style grooving insert tool for use in small-diameter internal bore applications requiring retaining ring grooves; verify shank and bore geometry against machine toolholder specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed by machinists or toolroom technicians on CNC lathes or manual boring equipment. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing or seating tooling. Confirm shank runout and toolholder grip torque per the machine manufacturer guidelines before engaging the cut. Do not exceed the rated maximum hole depth of 0.625 inches to avoid tool deflection or breakage.
