Micro 100 RR-062-20 Retaining Ring Grooving Tool

Product Description

The MICRO 100 RR-062-20 is a solid carbide internal grooving tool designed for cutting retaining ring grooves in bored holes. The tool features a 3/8-inch shank diameter and a 0.062-inch groove width, making it suited for precision groove work in small-diameter bores. With an overall length of 2.5 inches and a projection of 0.1 inches, it delivers controlled depth engagement. Machinists and toolroom technicians install this tool in CNC lathes, manual lathes, or boring setups where consistent retaining ring seat geometry is required. The solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

This grooving tool is used in machining operations that require internal retaining ring grooves in bored holes with a minimum hole diameter of 0.375 inches. It accommodates hole depths up to 1.25 inches, covering a wide range of typical bore lengths encountered in precision component manufacturing, maintenance machining, and toolroom repair work. It is appropriate for production and job-shop environments where accurate groove placement and consistent width are critical to proper ring retention.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and long tool life
• 0.062-inch groove width for standard retaining ring seats
• 3/8-inch shank diameter for compatibility with common boring bar holders
• Minimum hole diameter of 0.375 inches enables work in small bores
• Maximum hole depth of 1.25 inches covers typical bore lengths
• 0.1-inch projection provides controlled cut engagement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard tooling option for lathes and boring setups accepting a 3/8-inch shank internal grooving tool.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists following standard toolholding procedures. Secure the shank firmly in a compatible boring bar holder or toolpost before engaging the workpiece. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the tool. Follow applicable shop safety standards and machine manufacturer guidelines for speeds, feeds, and coolant use.
