Built from submicron carbide grade material, it delivers consistent groove geometry in ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. The tool features a 1\/4-inch shank diameter and an overall length of 2.5 inches, making it suited for small-bore grooving operations on CNC lathes and manual turning equipment. Right-hand cutting direction is standard. Machinists and toolroom operators use this tool where precise internal groove placement is required for snap ring or retaining ring seating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis grooving tool is applied in internal turning operations where a retaining ring groove must be cut at a controlled depth and width. It accommodates a minimum hole diameter of 0.25 inches and reaches a maximum hole depth of 0.625 inches, with a projection of 0.06 inches. The 0.0305-inch groove width corresponds to standard retaining ring profiles commonly encountered in shaft and bore assemblies in general machining, automotive, and light manufacturing environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid submicron carbide construction for wear resistance and dimensional consistency\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cutting direction for standard lathe setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.0305-inch groove width sized for retaining ring seating applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4-inch shank diameter fits standard ER and collet toolholding systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMinimum bore entry of 0.25 inches enables use in small-diameter internal features\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum hole depth of 0.625 inches with a shank length of 1.875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style internal grooving tool for use in standard 1\/4-inch collet or toolholder systems on CNC and manual turning machines capable of right-hand internal operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation and setup should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom professional. Secure the shank fully within the toolholder to the recommended grip length before operation; insufficient engagement reduces rigidity and increases the risk of tool deflection. Ensure the workpiece is properly chucked and the machine spindle is at a complete stop before measuring groove depth or changing tooling. Do not exceed the maximum hole depth specification to avoid contact between the shank and bore wall.\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\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Submicron\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGroove Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0305 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProjection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.06 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Hole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Hole Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 pounds\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: SCIENTIFIC CUTTING TOOLS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: GT030Q-10A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SCIENTIFIC CUTTING TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51972403921202,"sku":"GT030Q-10A","price":59.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/053e2114697b239105b395f44aa500d4.jpg?v=1789967681","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/scientific-cutting-tools-gt030q-10a-retaining-ring-grooving-tool","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
