Value Collection 24-1660 Interior Grooving Tool

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 24-1660 is a solid carbide interior grooving tool designed for cutting internal grooves and undercuts in bored or drilled holes. Built from micrograin solid carbide, it delivers the edge retention and rigidity required for precise, repeatable cuts in a shop or field machining environment. The tool features a right-hand cutting direction, a full radius profile, and undercut capability, making it suited for applications where standard tooling cannot reach. With a 0.5-inch shank diameter and a 3-inch overall length, it fits standard collet chucks and boring setups.

This grooving tool is intended for interior applications in metalworking operations including CNC lathe work, manual boring, and precision part machining. It is well suited for cutting O-ring grooves, snap-ring grooves, and similar internal relief features. The 1.5-inch maximum hole depth and 1.5-inch projection allow access to moderately deep bores. Machinists and tool-and-die technicians are the primary users in both production and maintenance-repair environments.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for superior hardness and edge life
• Full radius cutting profile supports O-ring groove and snap-ring groove applications
• Undercut capability allows relief cuts not achievable with standard boring bars
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard lathe and boring setups
• 1.5-inch projection provides reach into bores up to 1.5 inches deep
• No tool bit adjusting screw — fixed geometry for consistent, repeatable results

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit grooving tool for machines accepting a 0.5-inch shank boring and grooving tool in interior configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with boring bar and collet chuck setups. Secure the 0.5-inch shank firmly in a compatible tool holder or collet before use, and confirm the tool projection does not exceed the rated 1.5 inches to prevent deflection or tool breakage. Power down and lock out the machine before changing or adjusting tooling. Always verify workpiece clamping and spindle speed are appropriate for carbide tooling before beginning the cut.
