Accupro ACC-G250-20 Retaining Ring Grooving Tool

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-G250-20 is a solid carbide retaining ring grooving tool designed for cutting internal grooves in bores to accept retaining rings and snap rings. Built from submicron-grade solid carbide, it delivers the rigidity and wear resistance required for precision grooving in production and maintenance machining environments. The tool features a 1/2 inch shank diameter and an overall length of 3 inches, with a 0.2510 inch groove width suited for standard retaining ring groove profiles. Machinists and tool and die technicians use this tool on CNC lathes and manual turning centers where consistent groove geometry is critical.

This grooving tool is applied in bore grooving operations requiring a minimum hole diameter of 0.5000 inches and a maximum hole depth of 1.25 inches. It is suited for retaining ring groove applications in hydraulic cylinders, shafts, housings, and precision assemblies across industrial manufacturing, maintenance repair, and toolroom settings. The 2 inch shank length provides clearance and stability during internal grooving passes.

Key Features

• Solid submicron-grade carbide construction for extended tool life and dimensional stability
• 0.2510 inch groove width for retaining ring groove profiles
• 1/2 inch shank diameter with 2 inch shank length for secure toolholder engagement
• Minimum bore entry of 0.5000 inches accommodates small to mid-range bore diameters
• Maximum hole depth of 1.25 inches suits a wide range of workpiece thicknesses
• 0.1600 inch projection for controlled depth of cut

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style retaining ring grooving tool compatible with standard 1/2 inch bore grooving toolholders used in CNC and manual turning applications.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this grooving tool should be performed by qualified machinists familiar with internal grooving operations on lathes or turning centers. Ensure the toolholder is properly torqued and the shank is fully seated before beginning any cut. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing or adjusting tooling. Verify workpiece fixturing and coolant flow prior to engaging the cut to prevent tool deflection or premature wear.
