Accupro ACC-GF030Q-8 Full Radius Grooving Tool

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-GF030Q-8 is a full radius grooving tool constructed from submicron-grade solid carbide. It is designed for internal grooving operations in precision machining applications where consistent groove geometry and tool rigidity are critical. The tool features a 1/4 inch shank diameter and a 0.0305 inch groove width, making it well suited for tight-tolerance grooves in small-bore work. With an overall length of 2.5 inches and a shank length of 2.0 inches, it provides adequate reach while maintaining stability during cutting. Machinists and toolroom technicians are the primary users of this tool on CNC lathes and manual turning equipment.

This grooving tool is applied in precision turning and boring operations where full radius groove profiles are required. It is appropriate for use in small-diameter bores with a minimum hole diameter of 0.25 inches and supports a maximum hole depth of 0.5 inches. Typical applications include o-ring grooves, snap-ring grooves, and similar internal groove features in ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. The submicron carbide grade offers wear resistance suitable for both production runs and prototype work in a machine shop or toolroom environment.

Key Features

• Full radius groove profile for consistent internal groove geometry
• Submicron-grade solid carbide construction for extended tool life and wear resistance
• 0.0305 inch groove width for precise, tight-tolerance grooving
• 1/4 inch shank diameter compatible with standard toolholders
• 0.06 inch projection (decimal inch) to control cutting depth exposure
• Compact 2.5 inch overall length for use in confined setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use grooving tool for standard 1/4 inch bore grooving toolholders used in CNC and manual turning applications requiring a full radius internal groove profile.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians familiar with lathe toolholding systems. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and all motion has ceased before changing or seating the tool. Verify that the shank is properly clamped and torqued in the toolholder per the toolholder manufacturer specifications before initiating a cut. Do not exceed the maximum hole depth of 0.5 inches to avoid tool deflection or breakage.
