Micro 100 FR-062-12 Full Radius Grooving Tool 3/8 in Shank

Product Description

The MICRO 100 FR-062-12 is a full radius grooving tool designed for internal grooving and undercutting operations on a lathe or boring setup. Machined from solid carbide, it delivers the rigidity and wear resistance required for precision work in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The tool produces a 0.062 inch full radius groove profile in a single pass. With a 3/8 inch shank diameter and a 0.100 inch projection, it is suited for small-bore applications where tool clearance is tight. Machinists and toolroom professionals working in production or job-shop environments rely on this geometry for consistent, repeatable groove profiles without secondary finishing.

This grooving tool is used in internal bore grooving applications where a full radius profile is required. It fits standard 3/8 inch tool holders and is appropriate for use in CNC lathes, manual lathes, and boring mills. The minimum hole diameter of 0.375 inches means it can enter relatively tight bores while maintaining the maximum hole depth capacity of 0.750 inches. It is a practical choice for machining retaining ring grooves, snap ring grooves, oil distribution grooves, and similar internal features in precision machined components.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for superior rigidity and extended tool life
• Full radius grooving profile for single-pass groove formation
• 0.062 inch groove width with 0.100 inch projection
• 3/8 inch shank diameter fits standard tool holders
• Maximum hole depth of 0.750 inches suits typical bore grooving applications
• Minimum hole diameter of 0.375 inches allows use in small bore work

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 3/8 inch shank boring and grooving tool holders on CNC and manual lathes capable of internal grooving operations.

Installation Notes

This tool should be installed by a qualified machinist following the tool holder manufacturer's clamping specifications. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before changing tooling. Verify proper tool projection and bore clearance before beginning any cut. Do not exceed the rated maximum hole depth of 0.750 inches during operation.
