Micro 100 RR-046-12 Grooving Tool 3/8 Inch Shank

Product Description

The MICRO 100 RR-046-12 is a grooving tool designed for precision internal grooving and recessing operations on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. It features a 3/8 inch shank diameter and an overall length of 2.5 inches, making it a compact, rigid option for tight bore work. With a maximum hole depth of 0.75 inches and a projection of 0.1 inches, this tool is suited for shallow internal groove profiles where dimensional accuracy is critical. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals handling production turning applications will find this a reliable, direct-fit tooling option.

This grooving tool is intended for use in internal grooving, snap ring groove cutting, and recessing applications in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It is commonly used in job shop and production environments where consistent groove geometry is required. The 3/8 inch shank suits standard lathe toolholders and collet-style holders configured for that bore size. It is appropriate for both CNC turning centers and manual lathes where the machine spindle clearance accommodates its overall length of 2.5 inches.

Key Features

• 3/8 inch shank diameter fits standard lathe and collet-style toolholders
• Overall length of 2.5 inches provides a compact profile for tight bore clearance
• Maximum hole depth of 0.75 inches suitable for shallow internal groove applications
• Projection of 0.1 inches for controlled, precise groove engagement
• Lightweight at 0.12 pounds for easy handling and toolchanger compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style grooving tool compatible with standard 3/8 inch bore lathe toolholders and collet systems used in CNC and manual turning applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists. Power down and lock out the lathe or turning center before mounting or removing tooling. Ensure the shank is fully seated and clamped to the correct torque per the toolholder manufacturer's specification before operation. Confirm proper tool projection and clearance before initiating any cutting cycle.
