Micro 100 QRR-030-750-245X Retaining Ring Grooving Tool

Product Description

The MICRO 100 QRR-030-750-245X is a solid carbide internal grooving tool designed specifically for cutting retaining ring grooves in bored holes. Built for precision machining applications, this tool accepts a 0.25 inch shank and produces a groove width of 0.0618 inches. The solid carbide construction provides the rigidity and wear resistance required for consistent groove geometry in production and job-shop environments. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals rely on this style of tool when internal retaining ring grooves must meet tight dimensional tolerances.

This grooving tool is suited for use on CNC lathes, manual lathes, and boring setups where internal retaining ring grooves are required. It is designed for use in holes with a minimum diameter of 0.2835 inches and supports a maximum hole depth of 0.0984 inches, with a maximum hole depth of 0.75 inches. The 2 inch overall length and 0.0500 inch projection make it appropriate for close-tolerance internal grooving work in both prototype and production runs.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and extended tool life in internal grooving applications
• Groove width of 0.0618 inches sized for standard retaining ring profiles
• Minimum hole diameter of 0.2835 inches allows use in small-bore applications
• Maximum hole depth of 0.0984 inches with 0.0500 inch projection for controlled cutting geometry
• 0.25 inch shank diameter for compatibility with standard toolholders and collet chucks
• 2 inch overall length balances reach and rigidity in typical lathe setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide grooving tool for internal retaining ring groove applications on CNC and manual lathes accepting a 0.25 inch round shank toolholder.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed and operated by qualified machinists familiar with lathe tooling setup and internal boring operations. Secure the shank firmly in a collet or toolholder to the full recommended engagement depth before cutting. Ensure the workpiece is properly fixtured and the spindle is at a full stop before making any tool changes or adjustments. Consult the machine manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety standards for speeds, feeds, and coolant use with solid carbide tooling.
