Accupro 310-MG Single Point Tool Bit 3/8 Inch Lh Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 310-MG is a single point tool bit designed for precision metal cutting operations on lathes and boring machines. Built with a micrograin solid carbide tip, this left-hand cutting tool delivers consistent edge retention and surface finish in demanding machining environments. The BL-style geometry features a lead angle turning profile suited for controlled material removal. With a 3/8 inch shank width and 3/8 inch shank height, the 310-MG fits standard tool holders used by machinists and tool-and-die professionals across production and job-shop settings. Overall length is 2.5 inches with a 1/64 inch nose radius.

This tool bit is configured for left-hand cutting applications and is well-suited for boring, chamfering, interrupted cuts, and general turning operations. The micrograin carbide tip grade provides a fine grain structure that supports tighter tolerances and longer tool life compared to standard carbide grades. It is appropriate for use in both manual and CNC lathe setups where a BL-style lead angle profile is required. The compact 2.5 inch overall length makes it practical for close-clearance boring applications.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide tip for enhanced edge retention and finish quality
• Left-hand cutting direction for BL-style lead angle turning operations
• 3/8 inch square shank fits standard indexable and brazed tool holders
• 1/64 inch nose radius for controlled surface finish in finishing passes
• Rated for boring, chamfering, interrupted cuts, and turning applications
• Industry Standard Number BL-6 for cross-reference and replacement sourcing

Compatibility

Designed as a BL-6 industry-standard single point tool bit for use in standard 3/8 inch tool holders on manual and CNC lathes requiring left-hand lead angle turning geometry.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist with the machine fully powered down and the spindle locked before seating the tool bit in the holder. Ensure the tool holder bore and seating surfaces are clean and free of chips before securing the bit. Follow machine manufacturer torque guidelines for set screws. Verify tool height alignment to centerline before taking cuts, particularly on interrupted-cut applications where off-center mounting increases the risk of tip fracture.
