Horn RU105089418TH35 Face Grooving Tool Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HORN RU105089418TH35 is a solid carbide face grooving tool designed for internal grooving operations on machined bores and recesses. Built from solid carbide construction, this tool delivers the rigidity and wear resistance required for precise groove profiles in tight-bore applications. The cutting edge produces a groove width of 0.094 inches, making it suited for fine, controlled grooving passes. With an overall length of 0.984 inches and a projection of 0.197 inches, the tool is sized for compact bore access where reach and clearance are critical. Machinists and tooling technicians working on CNC lathes and boring operations will find this tool appropriate for production and maintenance environments alike.

This face grooving tool is intended for use in internal bore applications requiring a minimum hole diameter of 0.315 inches and accommodating a maximum hole depth of 0.394 inches. It is well suited for creating retaining ring grooves, O-ring seats, and similar recessed profiles in metalworking and precision machining contexts. The solid carbide body supports stable cutting performance at elevated speeds typical of production turning setups.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and extended tool life in abrasive materials
• Groove width of 0.094 inches for precise, repeatable face groove profiles
• Minimum hole diameter of 0.315 inches allows use in small-bore applications
• Maximum hole depth reach of 0.394 inches suits shallow to mid-depth grooves
• Projection of 0.197 inches provides controlled radial engagement
• Overall length of 0.984 inches supports compact toolholder setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling insert for face grooving operations compatible with HORN toolholding systems accepting the RU10 series profile.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by a qualified machinist with the machine powered down and all spindle motion fully stopped before handling. Secure the tool in the appropriate HORN toolholder per the holder manufacturer torque guidelines using the correct driver. Verify groove width and depth settings with a gauge or indicator before commencing a production run. Inspect the cutting edge for chipping or wear regularly, as solid carbide tooling can fracture under interrupted cuts or improper setup.
