Accupro ACC-G087-6 Retaining Ring Grooving Tool

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-G087-6 is a solid carbide retaining ring grooving tool designed for internal groove cutting operations. Built from submicron-grade carbide, it delivers consistent cutting performance in precision bore applications. The tool features a 3/8 inch shank diameter and cuts a groove width of 0.0880 inches, making it well-suited for retaining ring seat work in tight-tolerance bores. At 2.5 inches overall length and weighing just 0.1875 pounds, it is compact and balanced for use in CNC lathes, turret lathes, and manual boring setups. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals working in metalworking, automotive, and general manufacturing environments will find this tool appropriate for production and repair work alike.

This grooving tool is intended for internal bore applications requiring a minimum hole diameter of 0.3750 inches. It is rated for a maximum hole depth of 0.3750 inches, with a projection of 0.1100 inches. The submicron solid carbide construction provides wear resistance and edge retention in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Typical applications include cutting retaining ring grooves in hydraulic cylinders, gear bores, pump housings, and other precision machined components where retaining ring retention is required.

Key Features

• Solid submicron-grade carbide construction for extended tool life and edge stability
• 0.0880 inch groove width sized for retaining ring seat applications
• 3/8 inch shank diameter compatible with standard toolholders
• Minimum bore entry of 0.3750 inches for small-diameter internal work
• 0.1100 inch projection provides clearance control in confined bore depths
• Compact 2.5 inch overall length suited for close-clearance setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style retaining ring grooving tool for use in standard 3/8 inch shank toolholding systems on CNC and manual lathes performing internal groove operations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following standard toolroom procedures. Secure the shank firmly in the toolholder and confirm projection does not exceed the stated maximum before engaging the workpiece. Verify spindle is fully stopped and machine is in a safe state before tool changes. Do not exceed the maximum hole depth rating of 0.3750 inches to avoid tool deflection or breakage.
