Accupro ACC-GF187-24 Full Radius Grooving Tool Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-GF187-24 is a full radius grooving tool designed for internal grooving operations in machined bores. Built from submicron solid carbide, this tool delivers precise groove geometry with a 0.1880 inch groove width and a 0.5 inch shank diameter. The full radius profile produces a clean, radiused groove bottom, making it suitable for snap ring grooves, O-ring grooves, and similar precision features. At 3.0 inches overall length with a 0.1600 inch projection, it is suited for light to moderate depth internal grooving work. Machinists and tool and die professionals working on CNC lathes and boring operations are the primary users of this tool.

This grooving tool is intended for use in bores with a minimum hole diameter of 0.5000 inches and supports a maximum hole depth of 1.5 inches. It is well-suited for precision internal grooving in ferrous and non-ferrous materials where tight tolerances and repeatable groove profiles are required. The submicron carbide grade provides added toughness and edge retention compared to standard carbide grades, making it a reliable choice for production runs and close-tolerance work on manual or CNC turning centers.

Key Features

• Full radius groove profile for O-ring and snap ring groove applications
• 0.1880 inch groove width for precise, consistent groove sizing
• Submicron solid carbide construction for improved edge retention and toughness

• 0.1600 inch projection enables accurate reach into bore geometry
• Maximum hole depth of 1.5 inches supports a range of internal grooving depths

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style internal grooving tool compatible with standard 0.5 inch bore tool holders used on CNC and manual turning centers.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this grooving tool should be performed by qualified machinists familiar with internal turning and grooving operations. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked before changing or setting tooling. Verify tool holder runout and projection length before commencing cuts. Follow the machine manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures when setting feeds, speeds, and depths of cut.
