Built from micrograin solid carbide, this tool delivers the edge retention and rigidity needed for precise groove geometry in small-diameter applications. It cuts in the left-hand direction and is engineered for interior grooving only. The 3\/16-inch shank diameter and 3.0-inch overall length make it suited for use in standard toolholders on CNC lathes and manual turning centers where compact tooling is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis grooving tool is used in machining operations that require the placement of internal retaining ring grooves in bores as small as 0.1875 inches in diameter. It is commonly applied in precision component manufacturing, hydraulic fitting production, and any application where a circlip or snap ring must seat inside a bored hole. The full-radius cutting profile and 0.625-inch projection allow access to groove depths up to 0.625 inches from the bore entrance. This tool is installed in shops running production or prototype work on lathes equipped with small-bore tooling systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid micrograin carbide construction for extended tool life in ferrous and non-ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeft-hand cutting direction for interior retaining ring groove applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum bore diameter of 0.1875 inches enables grooving in very small holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull-radius cutting geometry for accurate snap ring groove profiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum hole depth of 0.625 inches provides adequate reach for most small-bore retaining groove applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo undercut and no adjusting screw  -  fixed geometry for repeatable results\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style interior retaining ring grooving tool for use in small-bore turning applications on CNC and manual lathes equipped with 3\/16-inch shank toolholders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tool is installed by machinists and toolroom technicians in lathe toolholders rated for 3\/16-inch shank diameters. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the toolholder is securely clamped before inserting or removing the tool. Verify bore diameter clearance before entry to avoid tool deflection or breakage in tight passages. Carbide tooling is brittle  -  avoid lateral loading or interrupted cuts unless the tool is rated for such applications.\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: Left Hand\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\u003eMinimum Hole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGroove Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0180 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Hole Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1875 inches (3\/16 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProjection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.0 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUndercut\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.4 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: 24-1235\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"INTERNAL TOOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67914855383346,"sku":"24-1235","price":62.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/2d790f5cd0d73698be959ccebd330284_8e246a7d-89dd-4f9c-8b54-48b62a15b185.jpg?v=1791251329","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/internal-tool-24-1235-retaining-ring-grooving-tool","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
