Accupro 230-MG Solid Carbide Tool Bit 3/4 Inch Shank Rh Br

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 230-MG is a right-hand, BR-style single point tool bit designed for lead angle turning operations on manual and CNC lathes. The tip is ground from micrograin solid carbide, delivering consistent edge retention and surface finish across a range of workpiece materials. The shank measures 3/4 inches wide by 3/4 inches tall, with an overall length of 4.5 inches and a nose radius of 1/32 inches. This geometry makes it well-suited for close-tolerance boring, chamfering, interrupted cuts, and general turning work. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and production lathe operators are the primary installers and users of this tooling.

The 230-MG fits standard 3/4-inch tool post and turret block holders commonly found on engine lathes and turret lathes in job shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments. Its BR style and right-hand cutting direction suit inside-diameter boring and lead-angle turning approaches where the cutter engages the workpiece moving toward the headstock. The cutting application range includes boring, chamfering, interrupted cuts, and turning, making it a versatile single-point option for mixed-operation setups. Industry standard number BR-12 applies to this bit for cross-reference purposes.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists and toolroom technicians. Secure the shank fully within the tool post or turret block holder before engaging the workpiece, ensuring the bit is clamped at the correct center height for the operation. Power down and lock out the lathe spindle before changing or adjusting tooling. Follow shop safety procedures and applicable OSHA machine guarding requirements when handling carbide-tipped tooling.
