Accupro ACC-G062-16 Retaining Ring Grooving Tool

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-G062-16 is a solid carbide retaining ring grooving tool designed for internal grooving operations in bores and holes. Built from submicron-grade solid carbide, it delivers the hardness and edge retention needed for precise retaining ring groove cuts in tight tolerances. The shank measures 3/8 inches in diameter with an overall length of 2.5 inches, making it a compact, rigid tooling option for machining professionals working on lathe and boring applications. The 0.063-inch groove width is sized specifically for standard retaining ring grooves in small-diameter bores.

This tool is suited for machining operations requiring internal retaining ring groove cuts in bores with a minimum hole diameter of 0.375 inches. It handles hole depths up to 1 inch, with a 0.110-inch projection and a 1.2-inch shank length. Typical users include machinists and tool-and-die professionals working on precision components in manufacturing or repair environments. It is sold individually and is appropriate for CNC lathe or manual turning applications where consistent groove geometry is required.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed by machinists in compatible 3/8-inch shank toolholders on CNC or manual lathes. Ensure the machine is fully powered down and the spindle is locked before changing tooling. Secure the shank to the correct clamping torque specified by the toolholder manufacturer. Inspect the cutting edge before use and do not exceed the maximum hole depth of 1 inch to avoid tool deflection or breakage.
