Accupro 75209254 Grooving Insert Gd Style ACP30M Grade

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 75209254 is a GD-style grooving insert designed for precision external and internal grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. With a cutting width of 0.1181 inches (3.000 mm) and a corner radius of 0.0591 inches (1.50 mm), this insert delivers clean, repeatable groove profiles in a wide range of workpiece materials. Manufactured to the ACP30M grade with a PVD coating and positive rake geometry, it is suited for moderate to high cutting speeds. The GMR chip breaker promotes effective chip control and reduces built-up edge during continuous grooving passes.

This insert fits into the CI series toolholding system and is held in place by clamp, screw, or self-grip mounting methods, giving the machinist flexibility across multiple tool body configurations. It is appropriate for production and job-shop turning environments where consistent groove width and surface finish are required. The multi-use designation means a single insert can serve across compatible tool bodies in the CI series, reducing tooling inventory requirements. Machinists working in steel, stainless, and similar materials will find the positive rake and PVD coating combination well matched to these applications.

Key Features

• GD insert style with 0.1181-inch (3.000 mm) cutting width for precise groove sizing
• ACP30M manufacturer grade with PVD coating for extended wear resistance
• Positive rake geometry reduces cutting forces and heat generation
• GMR chip breaker promotes reliable chip evacuation during grooving
• Compatible with clamp, screw, and self-grip holding methods
• Multi-use designation reduces the number of dedicated tool bodies required

Compatibility

Designed for use with CI series grooving tool bodies that accept GD-style inserts with size code 24. Compatible with clamp, screw, and self-grip insert retention methods.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist with the machine powered off and in a locked-out state. Seat the insert fully against the pocket locating surfaces before tightening the clamping mechanism to the tool body manufacturer's specified procedure. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or debris before seating a new insert, as contamination can cause improper seating and premature edge failure. Replace the insert at the first sign of chipping, excessive wear, or degraded surface finish on the workpiece.
