Accupro ACC-GF156-24 Full Radius Grooving Tool

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-GF156-24 is a full radius grooving tool manufactured from submicron-grade solid carbide. It is designed for internal grooving operations where a full radius profile is required at the base of the groove. The tool accepts a 1/2 inch shank and produces a groove width of 0.1570 inches. With an overall length of 3.0 inches and a projection of 0.1600 inches, it is suited for precision machining in bores with a minimum hole diameter of 0.5000 inches. Machinists and toolroom professionals install this type of tool in CNC lathes and boring setups where tight tolerances and clean radius profiles are required.

This grooving tool is applied in internal bore grooving operations on CNC turning centers and manual lathes. It handles a maximum hole depth of 1.5 inches, making it appropriate for shallow to mid-depth bore applications in materials where solid carbide offers the necessary hardness and wear resistance. Typical use cases include snap ring groove machining, undercuts, and radius relief cuts in precision-machined components across metalworking, aerospace, and general manufacturing environments.

Key Features

• Full radius profile for clean, accurate groove geometry at bore base
• Submicron-grade solid carbide construction for superior hardness and edge retention
• 0.1570 inch groove width for precision internal grooving
• 1/2 inch shank diameter for standard tool holder compatibility
• 3.0 inch overall length with 0.1600 inch projection
• Rated for bores up to 1.5 inches maximum hole depth

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style grooving tool for use in standard 1/2 inch bore grooving tool holders on CNC lathes and turning centers requiring a full radius internal grooving profile.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with internal grooving operations on CNC or manual turning equipment. Secure the 1/2 inch shank fully into the tool holder and verify projection depth before operation. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe state before changing or adjusting the tool. Follow the machine manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures when setting depth of cut and feed rate for carbide tooling.
