Micro 100 QPR-1601000X Grooving Tool 3/16 Inch Shank

Product Description

The MICRO 100 QPR-1601000X is a grooving tool designed for precision machining operations. It is used to cut grooves, undercuts, and recesses in workpieces on a lathe or similar turning equipment. The tool features a 3/16-inch shank diameter, making it suited for compact toolholding setups where rigidity and dimensional accuracy matter. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals install this type of cutting tool in production and job-shop environments where controlled material removal and repeatable profile geometry are required.

This grooving tool is appropriate for applications in both manual and CNC turning centers where a small-shank grooving tool is specified. It is well suited for internal and external grooving operations on metals and other machinable materials. Typical installation scenarios include production runs requiring consistent groove width and depth, as well as maintenance and repair machining tasks.

Key Features

• 3/16-inch shank diameter for compact toolholding compatibility
• Designed for grooving, undercutting, and recess machining operations
• Suitable for use on manual lathes and CNC turning centers
• Lightweight construction at 0.02 pounds

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style grooving tool for use with standard toolholders accepting a 3/16-inch shank diameter in lathe and turning center applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with cutting tool setup and lathe operation. Ensure the machine is fully powered down and all motion has stopped before changing or seating the tool in the holder. Verify shank diameter and tool projection against the toolholder specifications before tightening. Follow the machine manufacturer's guidelines and applicable shop safety standards when securing cutting tools.
