Accupro ACC-GF069-16 Full Radius Grooving Tool

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-GF069-16 is a full radius grooving tool designed for internal grooving operations on lathes and turning centers. Constructed from submicron-grade solid carbide, it delivers consistent edge retention and dimensional accuracy in precision machining environments. The tool features a 3/8 inch shank diameter, a 0.0700 inch groove width, and an 0.1100 inch projection, making it suited for tight-tolerance groove profiles in both ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Machinists and toolroom operators working in job shops, production facilities, or maintenance settings will find this tool fits standard boring bar setups without modification.

This grooving tool is used for cutting full radius internal grooves in bored holes with a minimum diameter of 0.3750 inches. It handles hole depths up to 1 inch, making it appropriate for a range of light to medium-duty internal grooving applications. Typical install scenarios include CNC turning operations, manual lathe work, and precision toolroom tasks where full radius groove geometry is required. The submicron carbide grade supports higher cutting speeds and improved tool life compared to standard carbide grades.

Key Features

• Submicron-grade solid carbide construction for extended edge life and dimensional stability
• Full radius profile produces accurate groove geometry in a single pass
• 0.0700 inch groove width suits fine internal grooving requirements
• 3/8 inch shank diameter fits standard internal grooving holders and boring setups
• 1.1100 inch projection allows reach into bored holes with minimum 0.3750 inch diameter
• 2.5 inch overall length provides adequate rigidity for most lathe and turning center setups

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for standard 3/8 inch shank internal grooving tool holders used in CNC turning centers and manual lathes requiring full radius groove geometry.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before inserting or removing the tool from the holder. Ensure the shank is fully seated and the tool holder set screws are properly tightened before resuming operation. Do not exceed the maximum hole depth of 1 inch to avoid overextension and tool deflection.
