Accupro ACC-GF046-16 Full Radius Grooving Tool

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-GF046-16 is a full radius grooving tool designed for internal grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Constructed from submicron-grade solid carbide, it delivers consistent cutting performance in tight-tolerance bore work. The tool features a 0.0470-inch groove width and a 3/8-inch shank diameter, making it well suited for small-bore applications where dimensional accuracy is critical. With an overall length of 2.5 inches and a projection of 0.110 inches, the ACC-GF046-16 provides the reach needed for internal groove profiles while maintaining rigidity. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals use this style of grooving tool when a true full-radius profile is required at the groove base.

This grooving tool is intended for use in precision turning and boring operations on CNC equipment. It is commonly applied in production machining environments where repeatable internal grooves are required in steel, aluminum, or other machinable materials. The 3/8-inch shank is compatible with standard toolholders of matching bore diameter. It handles bore depths up to 1.0 inch, which covers a wide range of typical internal grooving applications in both prototype and production settings.

Key Features

• Full radius profile geometry for accurate groove-base form on internal diameters
• Submicron-grade solid carbide construction for extended tool life and wear resistance
• 0.0470-inch groove width for fine, tight-tolerance internal grooves
• 3/8-inch shank diameter fits standard toolholding systems
• Maximum hole depth of 1.0 inch with a projection of 0.110 inches
• Overall length of 2.5 inches with a shank length of 1.2 inches for stable reach

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide grooving tool compatible with standard 3/8-inch bore toolholders used in CNC turning and lathe applications requiring a minimum hole diameter of 0.3750 inches.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed and operated by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the turret is locked before changing or indexing tooling. Secure the shank firmly in the toolholder to the manufacturer-specified clamping torque for that holder before running cuts. Follow applicable shop safety protocols and machine guarding requirements during setup and operation.
