Micro 100 FG-250-078-100 Face Grooving Tool Solid Carbide

Product Description

The MICRO 100 FG-250-078-100 is a solid carbide face grooving tool designed for internal grooving operations on the face of a bore. It produces a 0.078 inch wide groove in workpieces with a minimum hole diameter of 0.250 inches. With an overall length of 2.5 inches and a 1/4 inch shank diameter, this tool mounts in standard toolholders used on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. Solid carbide construction provides the rigidity and wear resistance needed for consistent groove geometry in steel, aluminum, and other machinable materials. Machinists and tool and die professionals rely on this style of tool for retaining ring grooves, o-ring grooves, and similar face features.

This face grooving tool is suited for light to medium duty internal face grooving applications in both production and job shop environments. It is appropriate for use in CNC turning centers and manual lathes where precise groove width and depth control are required. The 0.100 inch projection and a maximum hole depth of 1.0 inch define the usable reach into the bore, making it well matched to shallow-to-moderate depth face groove requirements in small-diameter workpieces.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and extended tool life
• 0.078 inch groove width for precision face grooving
• 1/4 inch shank diameter fits standard toolholding systems
• 0.100 inch projection provides controlled reach into the bore
• Minimum hole diameter of 0.250 inches suits small-bore applications
• 2.5 inch overall length compatible with common lathe setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit tooling option for CNC lathes and manual turning centers accepting a 1/4 inch round shank face grooving tool.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Secure the shank fully in the toolholder to the recommended grip depth before beginning any cut. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe state before changing or adjusting tooling. Follow the machine manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures when setting tool projection and depth of cut.
