Scientific Cutting Tools GT062K-10A Grooving Tool Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SCIENTIFIC CUTTING TOOLS GT062K-10A is a solid carbide internal grooving tool designed for cutting retaining ring grooves in bores. Built from submicron-grade carbide, it delivers consistent performance in precision machining applications where groove geometry and dimensional accuracy are critical. The tool features a 3/16-inch shank diameter and cuts a 0.028-inch wide groove, making it well suited for small-bore work. Right-hand cutting direction and a compact overall length of 2 inches allow it to reach into confined bore geometries with minimal setup complexity. Machinists and tool and die professionals working on lathes or boring applications will find this tool appropriate for production and maintenance machining.

This grooving tool is applied in internal retaining ring groove operations within bores starting at a minimum hole diameter of 0.187 inches. It handles a maximum hole depth of 0.866 inches and carries a projection of 0.050 inches. The 1.375-inch shank length provides adequate grip in standard toolholders. It is suited for use on CNC lathes and manual turning centers where small-bore internal grooving is required in precision components such as shafts, housings, and hydraulic fittings.

Key Features

• Solid submicron carbide construction for wear resistance and edge retention in hard and abrasive materials
• 0.028-inch groove width for standard small retaining ring groove profiles
• 3/16-inch shank diameter compatible with standard small-bore toolholding systems
• Right-hand cutting direction for conventional lathe setups
• Minimum bore entry of 0.187 inches allows use in very small internal diameters
• Overall length of 2 inches keeps the tool rigid and reduces deflection during cut

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitment grooving tool for internal retaining ring groove applications in bores with a minimum diameter of 0.187 inches and a maximum depth of 0.866 inches, using a 3/16-inch shank toolholder.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed by machinists in standard small-bore toolholders on CNC or manual lathes. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the toolholder is clean and free of debris before mounting. Secure the shank firmly within the holder to the full shank length where possible to minimize overhang and chatter. Follow shop safety procedures and machine manufacturer guidelines when setting up and operating carbide grooving tools.
