Accupro 510-MG Single Point Tool Bit 3/8 Inch Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 510-MG is a single point tool bit designed for precision turning and chamfering operations on a lathe or CNC turning center. Built with a micrograin solid carbide tip, this bit delivers consistent edge retention and clean cuts on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The neutral cutting direction suits straight turning passes where side forces need to be minimized. The shank measures 3/8 inches wide by 3/8 inches tall, with an overall length of 2.5 inches and a 1/64-inch nose radius suited to pointed nose profile work. This tool is installed by machinists and toolroom technicians in production and job shop environments.

The 510-MG is well suited for light to medium turning, facing, and chamfering applications on manual lathes and CNC turning equipment. The pointed nose geometry and 80-degree included angle make it effective for chamfering, undercutting, and detail work requiring a sharp entry angle. The micrograin carbide grade provides fine grain structure for tighter tolerances and longer tool life compared to standard carbide grades. This tool bit fits standard 3/8-inch tool holders commonly found on benchtop and mid-size production lathes.

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 3/8-inch single point tool holders on manual and CNC lathes. Conforms to industry standard number D-6 for tool bit style D with pointed nose geometry.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolroom technicians. Ensure the lathe or turning center is fully powered down and the spindle is locked before seating or adjusting the tool bit in the holder. Set tool height to spindle centerline using a height gauge before beginning a cut. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and machine manufacturer guidelines when setting cutting parameters for carbide tooling.
