Product Description

The MICRO 100 QPR-3601000X is a grooving tool designed for precision machining operations. It is used to cut grooves, undercuts, and recesses in workpiece materials on a lathe or similar turning machine. The tool features a 3/8 inch shank diameter, making it compatible with standard toolholders and quick-change setups commonly found in machine shops. Machinists and tooling technicians are the primary installers and operators of this tool. Its compact form factor and low weight of 0.1 pounds make it easy to handle during setup and changeover.

This grooving tool is suited for use in machine shop environments handling precision turning, boring, and grooving work. It is appropriate for both production and job-shop applications where controlled groove geometry is required. The 3/8 inch shank diameter fits standard tool block setups, making it a practical choice for shops already running MICRO 100 or compatible tooling systems. It is typically used on CNC lathes or manual turning centers where repeatable groove profiles are needed.
