Built from solid carbide, it delivers the rigidity and wear resistance needed for precise groove geometry in production and toolroom environments. The tool features a 5\/16-inch shank diameter, a 0.0380-inch groove width, and a minimum hole diameter of 0.3120 inches, making it suited for small-bore grooving work where dimensional accuracy is critical. Machinists and toolmakers use this tool on CNC lathes and manual turning equipment where consistent groove placement is required for retaining ring retention features.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tool is intended for internal grooving operations in small-diameter bored holes. With a maximum hole depth of 0.7500 inches and a projection of 0.1000 inches, it is well matched to shallow-bore retaining ring groove applications in ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. The overall length of 2.5000 inches provides clearance for standard tool holders. Machinists working on precision components such as hydraulic cylinders, pneumatic actuators, bearing housings, and small mechanical assemblies will find this tool appropriate for their grooving requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction provides rigidity and extended tool life in hard and abrasive materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.0380-inch groove width sized for standard internal retaining ring profiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMinimum hole diameter of 0.3120 inches allows work in small bores\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum hole depth of 0.7500 inches supports a range of shallow-bore groove depths\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.1000-inch projection and 2.5000-inch overall length suit standard lathe tool holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16-inch shank diameter fits common collet and toolholder configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard tooling option for internal retaining ring grooving operations on CNC and manual lathes accepting a 5\/16-inch shank diameter tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation and use of this grooving tool should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with turning operations and tool holder setup. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool holder is securely clamped before indexing or replacing the tool. Verify bore diameter and depth clearances match the tool projection and maximum depth specifications before beginning a cut. Follow all shop safety protocols and machine manufacturer guidelines when setting up small-bore grooving operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrooving Tool Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Retaining Ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGroove Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0380 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Hole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3120 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inches (0.3125 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Hole Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.7500 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProjection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.08 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23241600\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MICRO 100\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: RR-038-12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MICRO 100","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52102870597938,"sku":"RR-038-12","price":83.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d306679f672409abfccd830028565608_2b956b10-dd1e-4474-ae62-437e63bca29c.jpg?v=1790070830","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/micro-100-rr-038-12-retaining-ring-grooving-tool","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
