Micro 100 RR-093-20 Retaining Ring Grooving Tool

Product Description

The MICRO 100 RR-093-20 is a solid carbide internal grooving tool designed for cutting retaining ring grooves in bored holes. It features a 0.093 inch groove width and a full-radius cutting profile, making it suited for precise groove geometry in a single pass. The 1/2 inch shank diameter provides rigid toolholder engagement, and the overall length of 2.5 inches keeps deflection minimal during operation. Machinist and tool-and-die professionals working with CNC lathes or boring setups will find this tool appropriate for production and maintenance applications where consistent groove dimensions are required.

This tool is intended for internal retaining ring groove applications where minimum hole diameter is 0.500 inches. Maximum hole depth reaches 0.375 inches, and the tool projection is 0.150 inches. It is appropriate for metalworking environments including job shops, maintenance facilities, and production machining operations. The solid carbide construction supports use in ferrous and non-ferrous materials where tool rigidity and wear resistance are priorities.

Key Features

• Full-radius cutting profile for accurate retaining ring groove geometry
• Solid carbide construction provides wear resistance and rigidity
• 0.093 inch groove width for standard internal retaining ring applications
• 1/2 inch shank diameter for compatibility with standard toolholders
• 0.375 inch maximum hole depth suits a range of bore depths
• Overall length of 2.5 inches minimizes overhang and tool deflection

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style grooving tool for internal retaining ring groove applications requiring a minimum hole diameter of 0.500 inches and a 1/2 inch shank toolholder.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this grooving tool should be performed by qualified machinists familiar with CNC lathe or manual boring operations. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the tool from the toolholder. Verify shank seating depth and toolholder clamping torque per the toolholder manufacturer specifications before cutting. Observe appropriate cutting speeds and feeds for solid carbide tooling based on workpiece material.
