Accupro ACC-GF093-16 Full Radius Grooving Tool

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-GF093-16 is a full radius grooving tool engineered for internal grooving operations in machined bores. Constructed from submicron-grade solid carbide, it delivers the hardness and edge retention needed for consistent groove geometry in ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. The tool features a 1/2 inch shank diameter, a 0.0940 inch groove width, and a 0.160 inch projection, with an overall length of 3.0 inches. It is suited for CNC turning centers and manual lathes where precision internal grooving is required. Machinists and toolroom professionals install this tool type in standard boring bar-style holders compatible with its 1/2 inch shank.

This grooving tool is designed for internal bore grooving applications requiring a full radius profile. It accommodates a minimum hole diameter of 0.500 inches and handles a maximum hole depth of 1.0 inch, making it well-suited for shallow to mid-depth groove work in production and job-shop environments. The submicron carbide grade supports higher cutting speeds and longer tool life compared to standard carbide grades, particularly in interrupted cuts or harder workpiece materials.

Key Features

• Full radius grooving profile for consistent internal groove geometry
• Submicron-grade solid carbide construction for edge retention and wear resistance
• 0.0940 inch groove width with 0.160 inch projection
• 1/2 inch shank diameter for compatibility with standard boring-style toolholders
• 3.0 inch overall length supports reach into confined bore depths up to 1.0 inch
• Minimum hole diameter entry of 0.500 inches

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit grooving tool for use in toolholders accepting a 1/2 inch round shank. No specific compatible holder families were identified in the available product data.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed and serviced by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the toolholder is securely locked before inserting or removing the grooving tool. Set tool projection and alignment according to the groove depth and diameter requirements of the workpiece drawing before initiating a cutting pass. Do not exceed the stated maximum hole depth of 1.0 inch to avoid tool deflection or breakage.
