Accupro ACC-G030Q-4 Retaining Ring Grooving Tool

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-G030Q-4 is a solid carbide retaining ring grooving tool designed for internal groove cutting in precision machining applications. Built from submicron carbide grade material, this tool delivers the hardness and edge retention needed for consistent groove geometry in tight-bore work. The 1/4 inch shank diameter and 2.5 inch overall length make it compatible with standard collet and chuck setups found on CNC lathes and manual turning equipment. A 0.0305 inch groove width and 0.060 inch projection give machinists the tight dimensional control required when cutting retaining ring grooves to spec.

This grooving tool is suited for internal retaining ring groove operations in small-bore components. Typical applications include precision turned parts in industrial, hydraulic, and mechanical assembly work where retaining ring grooves must hold tight tolerances. The minimum hole diameter of 0.250 inch and maximum hole depth of 0.250 inch define the working envelope for this tool, making it appropriate for small internal bore work on lathes and turning centers in job shop and production environments.

Key Features

• 2.5 inch overall length provides reach for typical small-bore applications
• Minimum hole diameter of 0.250 inch suits small internal bore work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitment grooving tool for use in lathes and turning centers accepting a 1/4 inch shank with a minimum bore diameter of 0.250 inch.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this tool should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the toolholder is securely clamped before inserting or removing the tool. Verify shank runout and projection depth against the required groove specification before beginning a cut. Follow machine manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures when operating cutting tools.
