Micro 100 FG-312-093-150X Face Grooving Tool Solid Carbide

Product Description

The MICRO 100 FG-312-093-150X is a solid carbide face grooving tool designed for cutting retaining ring grooves on internal face surfaces. It features a 1/8-inch shank diameter and a 0.0930-inch groove width, making it suited for precision grooving in tight bores. The right-hand cutting geometry and 0.0250-inch projection allow controlled material removal with minimal tool deflection. At 1.5 inches overall length, this tool is compact and rigid. Machinists and toolroom professionals select this style of face grooving tool when working with small-diameter bores that require accurate retaining ring seat geometry.

This tool is intended for face grooving applications in bores with a minimum hole diameter of 0.1000 inches and a maximum hole depth of 1.1250 inches. It is well suited for precision machining operations in CNC lathes and manual turning centers where retaining ring grooves must be cut on internal face surfaces. The solid carbide construction handles both ferrous and non-ferrous materials with consistent dimensional results across production runs.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in precision grooving
• 0.0930-inch groove width for accurate retaining ring seat cutting
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard lathe setups
• 1/8-inch shank diameter fits common small-bore toolholders
• 0.0250-inch projection for controlled depth engagement
• 1.5-inch overall length keeps overhang minimal and reduces chatter

Compatibility

Designed for use in internal face grooving applications requiring a minimum hole diameter of 0.1000 inches and a maximum hole depth of 1.1250 inches. Compatible with toolholders accepting a 1/8-inch round shank.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this tool should be performed by qualified machinists familiar with turning operations and toolholder setup. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before mounting or removing the tool from its holder. Verify shank seating and setscrew torque according to the toolholder manufacturer's specifications before running. Do not exceed the maximum hole depth rating of 1.1250 inches to avoid tool overload or breakage.
