Accupro 75209668 Grooving Insert Ci Style ACP30M Grade

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 75209668 is a CI-style grooving insert engineered for precision external and internal grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries a cutting width of 0.1181 inches (3.000 mm) and a corner radius of 0.0079 inches (0.20 mm), making it well suited for tight-tolerance groove profiles. The insert is manufactured to grade ACP30M with a PVD coating applied over a positive rake geometry. This combination supports clean chip formation and extended tool life across a broad range of workpiece materials. Licensed machinists and CNC operators are the primary installers of this tooling component.

The 75209668 is intended for use in grooving, parting, and profiling applications on conventional and CNC turning equipment. The CI series design accommodates clamp, screw, and self-grip holding methods, giving shops flexibility in toolholder selection. The positive rake angle and GPP chip breaker geometry support reliable chip evacuation during grooving cuts in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. This insert is sold individually per package, with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before changing inserts. Seat the insert fully against the toolholder pocket and confirm the clamping mechanism is engaged per the toolholder manufacturer's torque and retention guidelines. Inspect the insert seating surface for chips or debris before securing to ensure proper contact and repeatable tool geometry.
