Accupro 75201293 Grooving Insert Gd Size 24 ACP30M Pvd

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 75201293 is a GD-style grooving insert designed for external and internal grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries a cutting width of 0.1969 inches (5.000 mm) and a corner radius of 0.0157 inches (0.40 mm), making it suitable for tight-tolerance groove profiles. The insert is manufactured in the ACP30M grade with a PVD coating that provides wear resistance and thermal stability during interrupted cuts and continuous grooving passes. A positive rake geometry promotes clean chip formation and reduces cutting forces on workpiece materials.

This insert fits toolholders in the CI series and is appropriate for production-level turning operations in metalworking shops, tool rooms, and manufacturing cells. The GMP chip breaker controls chip flow during grooving, which is critical when working in confined grooves or close to shoulders. The multi-use design allows the insert to serve across a range of compatible clamping methods including clamp, screw, and self-grip retention systems. Typical applications include groove turning on steel, stainless, and similar machinable alloys.

• Positive rake geometry reduces cutting forces and improves chip evacuation
• GMP chip breaker geometry for controlled chip flow in grooving applications
• Compatible with clamp, screw, and self-grip insert holding methods
• Multi-use insert suitable across a range of groove-turning scenarios

Compatibility

Designed for use with CI-series toolholders that accept GD-style grooving inserts with size code 24. Compatible with clamp, screw, and self-grip retention systems as specified by the toolholder manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician following machine lockout and spindle-stop procedures before any insert change. Seat the insert fully against the pocket locating surfaces and verify the selected retention method is properly engaged before resuming cutting operations. Inspect the insert pocket for debris or damage prior to seating a new insert, as contamination can affect seating accuracy and cutting geometry. Follow the toolholder manufacturer torque specifications for screw-clamp systems.
