Accupro ACC-G025Q-4 Retaining Ring Grooving Tool

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-G025Q-4 is a solid carbide retaining ring grooving tool designed for precision internal grooving operations. Built from submicron-grade solid carbide, this tool delivers consistent cutting performance in tight-tolerance bore work. It features a 1/4 inch shank diameter and cuts a groove width of 0.0255 inches, making it suited for retaining ring seat applications where dimensional accuracy is critical. With an overall length of 2.5 inches and a projection of 0.060 inches, the ACC-G025Q-4 is a compact, rigid tool for controlled material removal in small-diameter bores. Machinists and toolroom technicians handling precision bore work will find this tool well-matched to production and repair applications.

The ACC-G025Q-4 is intended for internal retaining ring groove cutting in bores with a minimum hole diameter of 0.250 inches and a maximum hole depth of 0.250 inches. It is appropriate for use on CNC lathes, manual lathes, and boring mills where small-bore internal grooving is required. The solid carbide construction performs reliably in a range of workpiece materials including steel, aluminum, and cast iron. This tool is a practical choice for shops that need a ready-to-use grooving tool without additional setup or insert changes.

Key Features

• Submicron-grade solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• 0.0255 inch groove width for retaining ring seat cutting
• 1/4 inch shank diameter for standard toolholding compatibility
• Minimum hole diameter of 0.250 inches for small-bore access
• Maximum hole depth of 0.250 inches with 0.060 inch projection
• 2.5 inch overall length for compact reach and stability

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style retaining ring grooving tool for use in standard 1/4 inch shank toolholders on lathes and boring equipment requiring small-bore internal grooving capability.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the machine is locked out before changing or setting tooling. Secure the 1/4 inch shank firmly in the toolholder to the manufacturer-specified clamping method to prevent deflection during the cut. Verify bore entry clearance and depth stop settings before engaging the workpiece to avoid tool breakage in this small-diameter application.
