Accupro ACC-G025Q-6 Retaining Ring Grooving Tool

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-G025Q-6 is a solid carbide retaining ring grooving tool designed for internal grooving operations on small-bore components. Built from submicron-grade solid carbide, it delivers the hardness and edge retention required for precise groove geometry in tight tolerances. The tool features a 1/4 inch shank diameter and a 0.0255 inch groove width, making it well suited for cutting retaining ring seats in bores as small as 0.2500 inches. Machinists and toolroom professionals install this type of tool in CNC lathes and manual boring setups where consistent groove depth and width are critical to retaining ring function.

This grooving tool is appropriate for small-bore internal retaining ring groove applications across light manufacturing, precision machining, and toolroom environments. It handles bore depths up to 0.3750 inches with a projection of 0.0600 inches, supporting controlled cut depth in shallow internal features. The 2.5 inch overall length provides standard reach for typical lathe and boring applications in both production and maintenance-repair machining contexts.

Key Features

• Submicron-grade solid carbide construction for extended edge life and dimensional consistency
• 0.0255 inch groove width matched to standard small retaining ring profiles
• Minimum bore diameter of 0.2500 inches enables work in small internal features
• Maximum hole depth of 0.3750 inches with 0.0600 inch projection for controlled cut engagement
• 1/4 inch shank diameter fits standard collet and toolholder systems
• 2.5 inch overall length suits typical lathe and boring bar setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitment for retaining ring grooving operations in bores with a minimum diameter of 0.2500 inches using 1/4 inch shank toolholders.

Installation Notes

Installation and setup should be performed by a qualified machinist. Secure the 1/4 inch shank in a compatible collet or toolholder and verify runout before cutting. Power down the spindle completely before tool changes or adjustments. Do not exceed the rated maximum hole depth of 0.3750 inches, as overextension can cause tool deflection or breakage in solid carbide.
