Scientific Cutting Tools GT062Q-8A Grooving Tool

Scientific Cutting Tools GT062Q-8A is a high-precision solid carbide grooving tool, TiAlN-coated for enhanced wear resistance, designed for lathe operations that create exact grooves on the face of a part or inside a bore to accommodate retaining rings. It uses a 1/4-inch shank, with an overall length of 2.50 inches and a 2-inch shank length, and features a groove width of 0.063 inches; the tool supports bore work with a minimum bore diameter of 0.250 inches and a maximum groove depth of 0.625 inches, plus an offset of 0.060 inches and a projection of 0.060 inches. The GT062Q-8A is right-hand and end-cutting, with a 2-degree cutting angle, optimized for clean, precise groove formation in suitable carbide-compatible materials. Typical applications include retaining-ring groove generation in turned parts and internal grooves within existing bores, where accurate dimensions and a smooth surface finish are essential for reliable mating fits.
