Accupro ACC-GF038-10 Full Radius Grooving Tool

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-GF038-10 is a full radius grooving tool engineered for internal grooving operations in precision machining applications. Constructed from micrograin solid carbide, this tool delivers the hardness and edge retention needed for consistent groove geometry in demanding cuts. The tool features a 5/16-inch shank diameter and cuts a groove width of 0.0385 inches. With a projection of 0.110 inches and a compact overall length of 2.5 inches, it is sized for tight-bore work. Machinists and toolroom technicians install this type of tool on CNC lathes and manual turning centers for internal grooving, undercutting, and snap-ring groove operations.

This grooving tool is suited for precision internal grooving where a full radius profile is required. The minimum hole diameter it will enter is 0.3120 inches, and it handles a maximum hole depth of 0.625 inches. It is appropriate for production and job-shop environments where tight tolerances on groove form and finish are required. The micrograin carbide substrate makes it a practical choice for ferrous and non-ferrous materials that demand sharp, stable cutting edges.

Key Features

• Full radius grooving profile for accurate groove geometry in a single pass
• Micrograin solid carbide construction for extended edge life and rigidity
• 5/16-inch shank diameter fits standard toolholders and boring bar setups
• 0.0385-inch groove width for narrow internal groove applications
• 0.110-inch projection supports reach into bores without excessive overhang
• Compact 2.5-inch overall length reduces deflection in close-clearance setups

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 5/16-inch internal grooving toolholders compatible with CNC lathes and manual turning centers requiring a full radius solid carbide grooving insert or solid tool with a minimum bore entry of 0.3120 inches.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool turret or holder is locked before mounting. Secure the shank firmly in the toolholder to the specified clamping torque listed by the toolholder manufacturer to prevent chatter and tool pullout. Confirm bore clearance and projection settings before initiating the cut.
