Accupro ACC-G030K-10 Retaining Ring Grooving Tool

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-G030K-10 is a solid carbide retaining ring grooving tool designed for cutting internal grooves in bored holes. Built from submicron-grade solid carbide, it delivers consistent performance in tight-tolerance applications where groove geometry must be precise. The tool features a 3/16 inch shank diameter and measures 2 inches in overall length. A projection of 0.05 inches positions the cutting edge for clean groove formation at the required depth. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals use this style of grooving tool when installing internal retaining rings in housings, bores, and precision assemblies.

This tool is suited for internal grooving operations in metalworking and machining environments. It is designed to cut grooves 0.0305 inches wide in bores with a minimum hole diameter of 0.187 inches. Maximum hole depth capacity is 0.625 inches, making it appropriate for shallow to medium-depth bore applications in both production and job-shop settings. It is packaged individually and sold as a single unit.

Key Features

• Submicron-grade solid carbide construction for wear resistance and edge retention
• Groove width of 0.0305 inches for retaining ring seat applications
• Minimum hole diameter of 0.187 inches for small-bore work
• Maximum hole depth of 0.625 inches
• 3/16 inch shank diameter for standard collet or chuck compatibility
• 2 inch overall length for compact tool overhang

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style grooving tool for internal retaining ring groove applications in machined bores and housings where a 0.0305 inch groove width and 3/16 inch shank are specified.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed by machinists in CNC or manual lathes and boring machines using a compatible collet or chuck sized for a 3/16 inch shank. Secure workpiece clamping and proper spindle speed selection are critical before beginning the grooving operation. Inspect the cutting edge for chips or wear before each use, as carbide tooling can fail without visible warning when compromised. Follow machine tool manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures when setting tool projection and depth of cut.
