Accupro ACC-GF030Q-6 Full Radius Grooving Tool

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-GF030Q-6 is a full radius grooving tool machined from submicron-grade solid carbide. It is designed for internal grooving operations requiring precise, consistent groove geometry in small-diameter bores. With a 0.25-inch shank diameter and a 0.0305-inch groove width, this tool produces full-radius grooves in bores as small as 0.25 inches in diameter. The submicron carbide grade provides high hardness and wear resistance for extended tool life in demanding materials. A projection of 0.06 inches and maximum hole depth of 0.375 inches define its reach envelope. Machinists and toolroom professionals use this tool on CNC lathes and boring setups where tight tolerances and clean groove profiles are required.

This grooving tool is suited for precision machining applications in manufacturing, job shop, and production environments. It is applicable to internal grooving of small bores in metals and engineered materials where full-radius groove geometry is specified. The 2.5-inch overall length provides the necessary rigidity for controlled depth and repeatable groove profiles on CNC turning centers and manual lathes handling small-diameter workpieces.

Key Features

• Submicron-grade solid carbide construction for high wear resistance and edge retention
• Full radius geometry produces smooth, complete groove profiles in a single pass
• 0.0305-inch groove width for precise, narrow internal grooves
• Minimum bore diameter of 0.25 inches allows use in small-diameter workpieces
• Maximum hole depth of 0.375 inches suits shallow internal groove applications
• 0.25-inch shank diameter for compatibility with standard toolholding systems

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 0.25-inch shank toolholders on CNC turning centers and manual lathes performing internal grooving operations in small-bore applications.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed and operated by qualified machinists familiar with CNC lathe or turning center toolholding systems. Secure the shank firmly in the appropriate toolholder to the holder manufacturer's clamping specifications before initiating any cutting operation. Verify workpiece bore diameter meets the 0.25-inch minimum before engaging the tool. Inspect the cutting edge for wear or chipping before each use, as submicron carbide tools should not be run with a damaged edge.
