Accupro 205-MG Single Point Tool Bit 5/16 in Br Lead Angle

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 205-MG is a single point tool bit designed for precision metal cutting operations in production and job shop environments. Built with a micrograin solid carbide tip, this BR-style bit delivers consistent performance in boring, chamfering, interrupted cuts, and turning applications. The shank measures 5/16 inches wide by 5/16 inches tall, with an overall length of 2.25 inches and a nose radius of 1/64 inches. The right-hand cutting direction and BR tool bit style make it a standard fit for conventional lathe setups. Machinists and tool and die professionals working with CNC or manual lathes will find this bit suited to a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

This tool bit is intended for use in lathe and boring operations where a compact, rigid bit profile is required. Its micrograin carbide tip construction supports use in interrupted cut scenarios where standard carbide grades may chip or fail prematurely. Typical applications include production turning, chamfering on part features, and boring operations in both small-batch and high-volume machine shop environments. The BR-5 industry standard designation aligns this bit with common tool holding systems used across manual and CNC turning centers.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide tip for improved wear resistance and edge retention in demanding cuts
• BR tool bit style with industry standard number BR-5 for compatibility with common tool holders
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard lathe and turning center setups
• Supports boring, chamfering, interrupted cuts, and turning applications in a single bit profile
• Compact 2.25-inch overall length suits tight clearance setups and smaller workpieces
• 1/64-inch nose radius provides controlled surface finish on turned features

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or upgrade for BR-5 industry standard single point tool bits used in conventional and CNC lathes with 5/16-inch square shank tool holders.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists following standard lathe tooling procedures. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before seating or adjusting the tool bit in the holder. Tool bit overhang should be minimized to reduce chatter; follow the tool holder manufacturer guidelines for clamping torque and seating depth. Verify cutting direction compatibility with the lathe's spindle rotation before initiating a cut.
