Scientific Cutting Tools UP25030-8 Undercut Grooving Tool

Product Description

The SCIENTIFIC CUTTING TOOLS UP25030-8 is a solid carbide undercut grooving tool designed for internal grooving and undercutting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Machined from submicron-grade carbide, it offers the wear resistance and edge retention needed for precision bore work. The tool features a 0.25-inch shank diameter, a 0.031-inch groove width, and an overall length of 2.5 inches, making it suited for reaching into bores with tight depth requirements. Machinists and toolroom technicians install this tool when internal undercut profiles are required in ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces.

This undercut grooving tool is intended for internal applications where a minimum hole diameter of 0.25 inches is present. With a maximum hole depth capacity of 0.5 inches and a projection of 0.06 inches, it handles shallow-to-moderate bore depths in production and job-shop turning environments. It is appropriate for both manual setup and CNC-controlled operations where repeatable groove geometry is required.

Key Features

• Submicron-grade solid carbide construction for extended tool life and edge integrity
• 0.031-inch groove width for precise internal undercut profiles
• 0.25-inch shank diameter with 2.0-inch shank length for secure tool holding
• 0.06-inch projection engineered for controlled undercut reach
• Maximum hole depth of 0.5 inches supports a range of bore configurations
• Overall length of 2.5 inches suits standard lathe tooling setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit grooving insert for internal undercut operations requiring a 0.25-inch minimum bore diameter and standard quarter-inch shank tool holders.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before mounting or changing tooling. Secure the shank in a compatible tool holder to the holder manufacturer's specified clamping method, verifying correct projection before cutting. Inspect the cutting edge for chips or wear prior to each use, as carbide tooling can fail without visible warning if mishandled.
