Accupro ACC-GF055-16 Full Radius Grooving Tool

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-GF055-16 is a full radius grooving tool built from submicron-grade solid carbide for use in precision machining operations. Designed for internal grooving applications, this tool cuts a 0.0560-inch groove width and operates with a 3/8-inch shank diameter. The submicron carbide grade provides superior wear resistance and edge retention compared to standard carbide formulations. With an overall length of 2.5 inches and a projection of 0.1100 inches, this tool is suited for reaching into bores and producing clean, accurate full-radius grooves. Machinists and tooling specialists use this tool in CNC turning and boring applications where profile accuracy is critical.

This grooving tool is intended for internal grooving operations in bores with a minimum hole diameter of 0.3750 inches and a maximum hole depth of 1.0 inch. It is well suited for precision turning centers and manual lathes where tight tolerances and consistent groove profiles are required. Typical applications include retaining ring grooves, O-ring grooves, and relief cuts in metal components. The solid carbide construction makes it appropriate for use in harder workpiece materials where high-speed steel tooling would wear prematurely.

Key Features

• Full radius grooving profile for clean, accurate groove geometry
• Submicron-grade solid carbide construction for extended tool life and edge retention
• 0.0560-inch groove width for precision internal grooving
• 3/8-inch shank diameter compatible with standard boring bar holders
• Maximum hole depth of 1.0 inch supports a wide range of bore depths
• Compact overall length of 2.5 inches for use in close-clearance setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit tooling option for standard 3/8-inch shank boring and grooving tool holders used in CNC turning centers and manual lathes.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this grooving tool should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with turning and boring tool setup. Secure the shank fully in the tool holder to the recommended engagement depth before operation, and verify tool runout before beginning a cut. Power down the machine and lock out all energy sources before changing or adjusting tooling. Do not exceed the tool projection or maximum hole depth specifications, as doing so increases deflection and risk of tool breakage.
