Accupro 75215608 Grooving Insert Gd ACP35K 0.1181 in

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 75215608 is a grooving insert designed for precision external and internal grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built to Insert Style GD with a cutting width of 0.1181 inches (3.000 mm), this insert carries the ACP35K manufacturer grade with a CVD coating and a positive rake geometry. The chip breaker designation is GMP, engineered to promote controlled chip evacuation during grooving cuts. A corner radius of 0.0079 inches (0.20 mm) helps define groove edge geometry. Machinists and tool-crib operators working in production turning environments will find this insert suited to steel and alloy applications where consistent groove dimensions are required.

This insert is used in grooving and parting applications on turning centers, manual lathes, and live-tool CNC machines. The GD style and Series CI designation indicate compatibility with toolholders engineered for clamp, screw, or self-grip holding methods, making it adaptable across multiple insert-retention systems. The positive rake angle reduces cutting forces, which is advantageous when machining components with strict dimensional tolerances. The zero-degree lead angle suits straight-wall groove profiles. Typical operators are CNC machinists, tool-and-die tradespeople, and production shop technicians working with metalcutting equipment.

Key Features

• Cutting width of 0.1181 inches (3.000 mm) for consistent groove sizing
• ACP35K grade with CVD coating for wear resistance on ferrous materials
• Positive rake geometry reduces cutting forces and heat generation
• GMP chip breaker promotes controlled chip evacuation
• Corner radius of 0.0079 inches (0.20 mm) for defined groove edge geometry
• Compatible with clamp, screw, and self-grip insert-holding methods
• Multi-use tool designation allows use across a range of grooving applications

Compatibility

Designed as a Series CI grooving insert in GD style for use with toolholders that accept clamp, screw, or self-grip insert retention. Insert Size Code 24 should be matched to the corresponding toolholder seat specification per the manufacturer system.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified CNC machinists or toolroom technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and all axes are at a safe home position before seating or replacing the insert. Confirm the toolholder seat is clean and free of chips before clamping. Follow the toolholder manufacturer torque and clamping procedure for the specific retention method in use.
