Accupro ACC-G030Q-10 Retaining Ring Grooving Tool

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-G030Q-10 is a solid carbide retaining ring grooving tool designed for internal grooving operations on small-diameter bores. Built from submicron-grade solid carbide, this tool cuts a 0.0305-inch groove width in bores as small as 0.25 inches in diameter. The 0.25-inch shank diameter fits standard collet and tool holder setups commonly found on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. With an overall length of 2.5 inches and a projection of 0.06 inches, it delivers controlled reach and rigidity for precision retaining ring groove placement in tight bore conditions.

This grooving tool is suited for machining retaining ring grooves in small-diameter bores in both production and job shop environments. It handles bore depths up to 0.625 inches, making it appropriate for through-bores and blind-bore applications in light to medium workpiece materials. Machinists, toolroom operators, and CNC programmers working on precision components such as hydraulic housings, pump bodies, and small mechanical assemblies will find this tool applicable to their internal grooving requirements.

Key Features

• Submicron-grade solid carbide construction for wear resistance and edge retention
• 0.0305-inch groove width for retaining ring groove profiles
• Minimum bore diameter of 0.25 inches allows use in small, tight bores
• Maximum hole depth of 0.625 inches accommodates most short-bore grooving applications
• 0.25-inch shank diameter fits standard ER and collet-style toolholders
• Overall length of 2.5 inches with 0.06-inch projection for controlled reach

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use retaining ring grooving tool for CNC lathes and turning centers equipped with standard 0.25-inch shank collet holders or boring bar-style tool holders.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this grooving tool should be performed by qualified machinists familiar with turning center tooling setup. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool holder is clean and free of debris before seating the shank. Confirm proper shank clamp torque per the toolholder manufacturer specifications before beginning any cut. Use appropriate cutting fluid and verify tool runout before engaging the workpiece to avoid premature edge chipping.
