Accupro ACC-G093-24 Retaining Ring Grooving Tool

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-G093-24 is a solid carbide internal grooving tool designed to cut retaining ring grooves in bored holes. Built from submicron-grade solid carbide, it delivers the hardness and wear resistance needed for precision groove work in steel, cast iron, and other ferrous materials. The tool features a 0.5 inch shank diameter, a 0.094 inch groove width, and a 0.16 inch projection. At 3.0 inches overall length, it fits standard toolholders used on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. Machinists and tool-and-die tradespeople rely on this profile for high-accuracy retaining ring seat work where dimensional consistency is critical.

This grooving tool is suited for internal groove applications in production machining and maintenance repair operations. It is used when cutting retaining ring grooves in bored holes with a minimum diameter of 0.5 inch and a maximum hole depth of 1.5 inches. Typical applications include bearing retention seats, shaft assemblies, and hydraulic component bores. The solid carbide construction makes it appropriate for both dry and coolant-assisted cutting environments where tool life and groove geometry must stay consistent across multiple parts.

Key Features

• Submicron-grade solid carbide construction for extended tool life and edge stability
• 0.094 inch groove width sized for standard retaining ring seats
• 0.16 inch projection allows full groove depth in confined bore entries
• 0.5 inch shank diameter fits common toolholder collets and boring bar setups
• 3.0 inch overall length provides reach for bores up to 1.5 inches deep
• Single-piece solid carbide body eliminates insert seating variables

Compatibility

Designed for use in bored holes with a minimum hole diameter of 0.5 inch and a maximum hole depth of 1.5 inches. Compatible with standard 0.5 inch shank toolholders on CNC and manual lathes or turning centers.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed by qualified machinists in a lathe or turning center toolholder. Secure the 0.5 inch shank firmly in a collet or boring bar holder before beginning any cut, and verify that the machine is fully stopped and locked out before making any tool changes. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain groove geometry. Do not exceed the rated maximum hole depth of 1.5 inches, as overextension can cause tool deflection or breakage.
