Accupro ACC-G062-8 Retaining Ring Grooving Tool

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-G062-8 is a solid carbide internal grooving tool designed for cutting retaining ring grooves in bored holes. Built from submicron-grade solid carbide, it delivers the edge retention and rigidity needed for precise groove profiles in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The tool features a 3/8 inch shank diameter, a 0.063 inch groove width, and a 2.5 inch overall length, making it a compact and capable choice for internal grooving operations on the shop floor or in the field. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals install this type of cutter on CNC lathes and boring bars.

This grooving tool is suited for internal retaining ring groove applications where minimum hole diameter is 0.375 inches and maximum hole depth reaches 0.5 inches. The 0.110 inch projection provides adequate reach into the bore while maintaining tool stiffness. It is appropriate for production and maintenance machining environments requiring consistent groove geometry for standard internal retaining rings.

Key Features

• Submicron-grade solid carbide construction for superior hardness and wear resistance
• 0.063 inch groove width sized for standard internal retaining ring profiles
• 3/8 inch shank diameter with 2.0 inch shank length for secure tool holding
• 0.110 inch projection provides reach into bore while minimizing deflection
• Minimum hole diameter of 0.375 inches and maximum hole depth of 0.5 inches
• 2.5 inch overall length for compatibility with standard boring bar setups

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC lathes, manual lathes, and boring setups accepting a 3/8 inch round shank toolholder. Suitable for cutting internal retaining ring grooves in workpieces with a minimum bore diameter of 0.375 inches.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed and operated by machinists and tooling technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool holder is properly torqued before beginning any setup. Verify shank seating depth and projection before engaging the cut, and confirm that coolant flow is directed at the cutting edge when grooving hard materials. Follow applicable shop safety protocols and machine manufacturer guidelines during installation and operation.
