Accupro ACC-GF187-20 Full Radius Grooving Tool Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-GF187-20 is a full radius grooving tool designed for internal grooving operations on machined bores. Built from submicron-grade solid carbide, it delivers the rigidity and wear resistance required for precision groove profiles in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The tool features a 0.1880-inch groove width with a full radius profile, a 1/2-inch shank diameter, and an overall length of 3.0 inches. It is suited for CNC turning centers and manual lathes where consistent groove geometry and surface finish are critical. Machinists and toolroom technicians working to tight tolerances will find this tool reliable for production and prototype runs alike.

This grooving tool is intended for internal grooving applications where the minimum hole diameter is 0.5000 inches. The 0.1600-inch projection and maximum hole depth of 1.2500 inches make it appropriate for shallow-to-mid-depth bore grooving on workpieces held in a turning center or lathe chuck. It is commonly used in job shops, production machining environments, and MRO toolroom applications where full radius groove profiles are specified on engineering drawings.

Key Features

• Full radius groove profile for clean, consistent internal groove geometry
• Submicron-grade solid carbide construction for extended tool life and dimensional stability
• 0.1880-inch groove width suits common internal groove specifications
• 1/2-inch shank diameter compatible with standard boring bar holders and tool blocks
• Maximum hole depth of 1.2500 inches accommodates a range of workpiece depths
• Overall length of 3.0 inches with a 2.0-inch shank length for adequate reach and rigidity

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit grooving tool for standard 1/2-inch shank tool holders used in CNC turning centers and manual lathes requiring internal full radius grooving capability.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Secure the 1/2-inch shank firmly in a compatible tool holder, ensuring proper seating and runout within machine specifications before cutting. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before inserting or removing the tool. Do not exceed the maximum hole depth of 1.2500 inches to avoid tool deflection or breakage.
