Accupro 75215665 Grooving Insert ACP35K 0.1181 in

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 75215665 is a GD-style grooving insert designed for turning and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. It carries a manufacturer grade of ACP35K with a CVD coating for wear resistance during interrupted or continuous cuts. The cutting width measures 0.1181 inches (3.000 mm) and the corner radius is 0.0591 inches (1.50 mm). The insert features a positive rake geometry and a GPR chip breaker, making it suited for consistent chip control in medium to finishing-range grooving passes. Licensed machinists and CNC turning specialists are the primary installers of this tooling.

This insert belongs to the CI series and is intended for grooving applications in production turning environments. The GD insert style accommodates clamp, screw, and self-grip holding methods, offering flexibility across compatible toolholders. The positive rake angle reduces cutting forces, which benefits thin-wall workpiece setups and applications where minimizing deflection is critical. It is a multi-use tool suitable for both grooving and turning profiles where the 0.1181-inch cutting width and 0.0591-inch corner radius meet the required geometry.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Before changing inserts, ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the machine is locked out per facility lockout/tagout procedures. Seat the insert firmly in the pocket and secure it using the appropriate clamp, screw, or self-grip method specified by the toolholder manufacturer. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or debris before seating to avoid edge damage or incorrect positioning.
