Accupro 07015902 External Grooving Toolholder Left Hand

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 07015902 is a left-hand external grooving toolholder designed for indexable insert grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built in the GMEL style with a steel shank, this toolholder accepts size 3 inserts secured by a screw-clamp holding method. It supports a maximum depth of cut of 0.9853 inches and a minimum groove width of 0.1181 inches, making it well suited for precise external groove profiles in production turning environments. The 0.75-inch shank height and 5-inch overall length suit standard toolpost and turret setups.

This toolholder is intended for external grooving applications on metal-cutting lathes in both job shop and production environments. It is installed and used by machinists and CNC operators working with turning centers that require a left-hand tool orientation. The CI series designation and GMEL style place it in a common family of indexable grooving toolholders used for recessing, parting preparation, and groove profiling on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Secure the toolholder firmly in the turret or toolpost before engaging the spindle, and verify correct tool height alignment to centerline before taking a cut. Always index or replace the insert with the machine powered down and the spindle at a complete stop. Follow the machine manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures when setting tool offsets.
