Built from submicron-grade solid carbide, it delivers precise, repeatable groove geometry in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The right-hand cutting direction suits standard CNC lathe and boring setups. With a 0.5 inch shank diameter and 3 inch overall length, it fits common tooling blocks and quick-change holders used in production and job-shop turning operations. Machinists and toolmakers working on hydraulic cylinders, shaft assemblies, and precision bores rely on this style of grooving tool for clean, burr-minimized groove profiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tool is suited for internal grooving applications requiring a minimum hole diameter of 0.5 inch and a maximum hole depth of 1.5 inches. The 0.1600 inch projection from the shank face allows it to reach groove positions without excessive tool overhang. Typical applications include retaining ring seat preparation in hydraulic components, gearbox housings, and machined bore assemblies. It is intended for use in CNC turning centers and manual lathes where a 0.5 inch tool shank is the standard holding size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSubmicron-grade solid carbide construction for wear resistance and dimensional stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.0940 inch groove width sized for standard retaining ring seat profiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cutting direction compatible with conventional lathe spindle rotation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.5 inch shank diameter fits standard boring bar holders and quick-change tooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1.5 inch shank length provides secure clamping engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.1600 inch projection allows groove access in confined bore depths\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit grooving tool for CNC lathes and manual turning centers that accept a 0.5 inch round shank boring and grooving tool, with a minimum bore entry diameter of 0.5 inch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Secure the 0.5 inch shank in a rigid toolholder with sufficient clamping length to minimize deflection during the grooving pass. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the turret is in a safe index position before inserting or removing the tool. Follow shop safety protocols and machine manufacturer guidelines for tool projection and depth-of-cut limits when grooving with solid carbide tooling.\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\u003eGroove Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0940 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Hole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Hole Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProjection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1600 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 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: GT093-24\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SCIENTIFIC CUTTING TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52086572417330,"sku":"GT093-24","price":105.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1fb935176e31ac63a30e97f13fcb98e0.jpg?v=1790059767","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/scientific-cutting-tools-gt093-24-retaining-ring-grooving-tool","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
