Accupro 75230946 Grooving Insert Ci Style ACP45M Grade

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 75230946 is a CI-style grooving insert designed 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 narrow groove profiles that demand tight dimensional control. Manufactured to the ACP45M grade with a PVD coating and GUP chip breaker geometry, this insert is built for consistent chip control and extended tool life in a range of workpiece materials. A positive rake configuration reduces cutting forces and minimizes heat generation at the cutting edge.

This insert is intended for use in grooving and parting applications on turning equipment where a CI-style insert holder is installed. The GUP chip breaker geometry supports reliable chip evacuation in both roughing and finishing groove passes. The insert fits standard CI-series toolholders and is appropriate for job shop and production environments where repeatable groove width accuracy is required. It is suitable for use by machinists and CNC operators working with ferrous and non-ferrous materials in both low- and high-volume turning operations.

Key Features

• ACP45M grade with PVD coating for wear resistance and edge integrity
• GUP chip breaker for effective chip control across a range of feed rates
• Positive rake geometry reduces cutting forces and tool pressure
• Multi-use design supports a variety of grooving applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with CI-series insert holders that accept clamp, screw, or self-grip insert retention methods. Consult the CI series insert holder specifications to confirm size code 24 fitment before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the turret is in a safe index position before seating or replacing the insert. Verify that the insert pocket and seating surfaces are clean and free of chips or debris prior to clamping. Follow the toolholder manufacturer's specified clamping torque and retention method for CI-style inserts.
