Accupro ACC-GF069-4 Full Radius Grooving Tool Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-GF069-4 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 edge retention and dimensional accuracy in interrupted and continuous cuts. The tool features a 3/8 inch shank diameter and produces a groove width of 0.0700 inches. With a projection of 0.1100 inches and a maximum hole depth of 0.2500 inches, it is suited for precision grooving in small-bore applications. Machinists and toolroom professionals use this tool where tight tolerances and surface finish requirements demand a solid carbide construction over brazed or indexable alternatives.

The ACC-GF069-4 is applied in precision machining environments where internal full radius grooves are required in bores at or above 0.3750 inches minimum hole diameter. It is commonly used in aerospace, medical device, and general industrial component manufacturing. The 2-1/2 inch overall length provides adequate reach while maintaining rigidity in tight-bore grooving operations. It is intended for use on CNC turning equipment with appropriate toolholding for 3/8 inch round shank tooling.

Key Features

• Submicron-grade solid carbide construction for extended tool life and edge stability
• Full radius geometry produces a smooth, consistent groove profile in a single pass
• 3/8 inch shank diameter fits standard round-bore toolholders
• 0.0700 inch groove width suitable for precision snap ring, O-ring, and retaining groove applications
• Maximum hole depth of 0.2500 inches supports shallow-bore grooving requirements
• 2-1/2 inch overall length balances reach and rigidity in small-bore setups

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 3/8 inch round-bore toolholders on CNC lathes and turning centers capable of internal grooving operations with a minimum bore entry of 0.3750 inches.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist. Secure the shank fully within the toolholder to the recommended minimum grip length before operation. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the control is in an idle state before loading or adjusting the tool. Follow the machine manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures when setting projection and tool offset values.
