Built from submicron-grade carbide, it delivers consistent edge retention and dimensional accuracy in production and maintenance machining environments. The tool features a 1\/2 inch shank diameter and an overall length of 3.0 inches, making it compatible with standard toolholders used on lathes and boring setups. A projection of 0.160 inches positions the cutting edge for controlled groove depth, while the 0.157 inch groove width is sized for standard retaining ring applications. Machinists and toolroom technicians working in metalworking, maintenance repair, or precision parts manufacturing will find this tool suited for repeatable groove cutting in ferrous and non-ferrous materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis grooving tool is applied in internal boring operations where retaining ring grooves must be machined into a hole. The minimum hole diameter it will enter is 0.500 inches, and the maximum hole depth it can reach is 0.500 inches. It is well suited for small-bore work on shafts, housings, cylinders, and similar components where a retaining ring seat is required. The submicron carbide grade supports use in both manual and CNC lathe operations at moderate to high surface speeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid submicron-grade carbide construction for extended tool life and consistent edge geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.157 inch groove width sized for standard internal retaining ring applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.160 inch projection provides controlled cutting depth reach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch shank diameter fits common toolholders and boring bar setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.0 inch overall length suits standard lathe and CNC turning center tooling arrangements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum hole depth of 0.500 inches supports shallow to mid-depth internal groove work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit retaining ring grooving tool for use in any lathe or CNC turning center equipped with a standard 1\/2 inch shank toolholder, where the workpiece bore accepts a minimum 0.500 inch entry diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tool is installed and used by machinists and toolroom technicians on manual or CNC lathes. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the toolholder is securely locked before inserting or removing the tool. Verify that the workpiece bore meets the minimum 0.500 inch diameter requirement before engaging the cutting edge to avoid tool deflection or breakage. Follow the machine tool manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures when setting speeds, feeds, and depth of cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrooving Tool Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Retaining Ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Submicron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.500 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGroove Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.157 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProjection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.160 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Hole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.500 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Hole Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.500 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3125 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ACCUPRO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: ACC-G156-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ACCUPRO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51752492171570,"sku":"ACC-G156-8","price":121.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6e8ac11cb1fd0c22e430bd534af01257.jpg?v=1788928584","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/accupro-acc-g156-8-retaining-ring-grooving-tool","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
