It uses a right-hand cutting direction and accepts a minimum hole diameter of 0.375 inches, making it suitable for small-bore groove work where precision and tool rigidity are critical. The shank diameter is 0.375 inches (3\/8 inch) with a shank length of 1.75 inches and an overall length of 2.5 inches. The micrograin carbide construction provides wear resistance and dimensional stability during interrupted or continuous groove cuts. This tool is used by machinists and tool and die professionals in production and job-shop environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis grooving tool is suited for interior retaining ring groove applications in ferrous and non-ferrous materials where a right-hand cutting operation is required. The 0.057-inch groove width and 0.75-inch maximum hole depth and projection make it appropriate for shallow bores in small components such as hydraulic cylinders, pins, shafts, and precision assemblies. It does not include an undercut geometry and does not require a tool bit adjusting screw, simplifying setup on CNC lathes and manual turning centers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid micrograin carbide construction for extended tool life and edge stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cutting direction for standard lathe and boring bar setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.057-inch groove width sized for retaining ring profiles in small bores\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.375-inch minimum bore diameter allows use in tight-clearance applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.75-inch projection and 0.75-inch maximum hole depth provide controlled reach without overhang flex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo adjusting screw required  -  single-piece design reduces setup variables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style interior grooving tool for retaining ring groove applications in bores with a minimum diameter of 0.375 inches and a maximum depth of 0.75 inches on CNC or manual turning equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tool is installed by machinists in a boring bar holder or toolpost rated for the 0.375-inch shank diameter. Secure the shank with appropriate set screws and verify runout before cutting. Ensure the workpiece is properly chucked and the machine is at a safe speed for the bore diameter and material being cut before engaging the tool. Follow shop safety protocols and machine manufacturer guidelines for carbide tooling feeds and speeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrooving Tool Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Retaining Ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterior\/Exterior\u003c\/strong\u003e: Interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Hole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGroove Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.057 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches (3\/8 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Hole Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProjection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Micrograin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUndercut\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Bit Adjusting Screw\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.45 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23241600\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: INTERNAL TOOL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20-1505\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"INTERNAL TOOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67911535624498,"sku":"20-1505","price":84.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/95e81264d86d05eb78f58c09be1ea7ab_fe203eb2-2f5b-437c-b737-4cb4c8f68400.jpg?v=1791211785","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/internal-tool-20-1505-retaining-ring-grooving-tool","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
