Product Description

The MICRO 100 QPR-180500X is a grooving tool designed for precision material removal in machining applications. It is used to cut grooves, slots, and undercuts in workpieces on a lathe or CNC turning center. The tool features a 1/4 inch shank diameter, making it compatible with standard small-bore tool holders. Machinists and tooling professionals install and operate this type of cutting tool in metal fabrication and production environments where tight tolerances and repeatable performance are required.

This grooving tool is suited for shop environments running small-diameter turning operations. It is typically applied in jobs requiring internal or external groove profiles on metal workpieces. The 1/4 inch shank diameter targets compact tooling setups where clearance and reach are a priority. It is appropriate for professional machinists working in job shops, production facilities, or maintenance and repair operations.
