Accupro 07015910 External Grooving Toolholder Left Hand

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 07015910 is a left-hand indexable external grooving toolholder designed for precision grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built in the GMEL style with a steel shank measuring 0.75 inches in height and 5 inches in overall length, this toolholder accepts size 5 inserts secured by a screw-clamp holding method. It supports a maximum depth of cut of 0.9853 inches and a groove width of 0.1969 inches, making it well-suited for consistent, repeatable external grooving work. Machinists and CNC setup technicians working in production or job-shop environments install this toolholder as part of a standard turning toolpost setup.

This toolholder is intended for external grooving applications on metal workpieces in both production and job-shop turning environments. The left-hand orientation determines cutting direction and positions the toolholder for specific machine configurations where right-hand holders are not suitable. The CI series designation and GMEL style make it straightforward to match with compatible indexable insert grades for steel, stainless, and other common workpiece materials. It is used by machinists and tool-crib personnel responsible for outfitting CNC turning centers with grooving capability.

Key Features

• Left-hand holder orientation for dedicated turning center configurations
• Screw-clamp insert holding method provides secure insert retention during grooving passes
• Maximum depth of cut of 0.9853 inches supports a wide range of groove depths
• Minimum groove width of 0.1969 inches for narrow, precise external grooves

Compatibility

Accepts size 5 compatible indexable inserts. Designed for use in CNC lathes and turning centers configured for external grooving with left-hand toolholders in the CI series GMEL style.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. The machine spindle must be stopped and all motion arrested before mounting or changing toolholders. Secure the toolholder in the turret or toolpost according to the machine tool manufacturer torque and seating specifications. Verify insert seat cleanliness and confirm screw-clamp fastener engagement before initiating a cutting cycle.
