Accupro 6-MG Single Point Tool Bit Ar Square Shoulder Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 6-MG is a single point tool bit designed for precision metal cutting operations in lathe and turning center applications. Built with a micrograin solid carbide tip brazed to an AR-style shank, this tool bit delivers consistent edge retention across boring, chamfering, and turning operations. The shank measures 5/16 inches in both width and height, and the overall length is 2.25 inches. A 1/64-inch nose radius provides a tight, controlled finish on workpiece corners. This tool is intended for use by machinists and toolroom professionals working with metal stock on manual or CNC lathes.

The 6-MG fits standard AR tool holders and is suited for right-hand cutting in square shoulder turning applications. Its micrograin carbide grade is appropriate for ferrous and non-ferrous metals where a fine, consistent grain structure is needed to maintain sharpness at higher surface speeds. Typical use cases include production turning, facing, and light boring on small-diameter workpieces. The AR industry standard designation (AR-5) ensures broad holder compatibility in shop environments already equipped with AR-series tooling.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitment for AR-series single point tool holders used in manual and CNC lathe square shoulder turning applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists using standard tool post or boring bar holder setups. Ensure the lathe spindle is fully stopped and locked before seating or removing tool bits. Tool bit should be clamped securely in the holder with appropriate set screws torqued per the holder manufacturer specification. Verify cutting direction and tool height alignment before initiating a cut.
