Accupro ACC-GF055-12 Full Radius Grooving Tool

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-GF055-12 is a full radius grooving tool designed for internal grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Constructed from submicron-grade solid carbide, this tool delivers consistent cutting performance in tight bore applications. The 3/8 inch shank diameter and 0.056 inch groove width make it suited for precision grooving in small-diameter bores. With an overall length of 2.5 inches and a projection of 0.11 inches, the ACC-GF055-12 is configured for controlled reach and rigidity. Machinists and tooling technicians working in production or job-shop environments will find this tool appropriate for repeat grooving cycles in metal workpieces.

This grooving tool is used in internal bore grooving applications where a full radius profile is required. It is suited for turning operations on metals in both production and prototype environments. The minimum hole diameter rating of 0.375 inches and maximum hole depth of 0.75 inches define the working envelope for this tool. Applications include snap ring groove cutting, O-ring groove cutting, and similar radius-profile grooving tasks performed on CNC or manual turning equipment.

Key Features

• Full radius grooving geometry for radius-profile internal grooves
• Submicron-grade solid carbide construction for wear resistance and cutting edge consistency
• 0.056 inch groove width for narrow, precise groove profiles
• 3/8 inch shank diameter for standard toolholder compatibility
• 0.75 inch maximum hole depth rating
• Overall length of 2.5 inches with 0.11 inch projection

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 3/8 inch bore grooving toolholders compatible with full radius internal grooving inserts or solid carbide grooving tools on CNC and manual turning equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation and setup should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the turret is in a safe index position before mounting or adjusting the tool. Verify shank seating and toolholder clamping torque per the toolholder manufacturer specifications before initiating a cutting cycle. Do not exceed the rated maximum hole depth of 0.75 inches during grooving passes.
