Accupro 75232074 Grooving Insert Ci Style ACP45M Grade

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 75232074 is a CI-style grooving insert designed for precision 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 0.0118 inches (0.30 mm), making it suited for tight-tolerance groove profiles. The insert is manufactured in grade ACP45M with a PVD coating and a positive rake geometry, which reduces cutting forces and promotes clean chip evacuation. A GUT chip breaker is integrated into the insert face. This insert is installed by machinists and toolroom professionals working with precision turning and grooving applications.

The 75232074 is appropriate for general-purpose grooving in both external and internal turning applications where consistent groove width and controlled chip flow are required. The CI series designation and size code 30 indicate compatibility with CI-style toolholders in that size family. The positive rake angle and PVD finish support use across a range of workpiece materials including steel, stainless, and similar machinable alloys. The multi-use tool designation means a single insert grade covers multiple material classes, reducing the need to stock separate grades for common turning jobs.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement insert for CI-style grooving toolholders accepting size code 30 inserts with a 3.000 mm cutting width.

Installation Notes

Grooving inserts of this type are seated and secured by a machinist or toolroom technician using the appropriate CI-style toolholder with clamp, screw, or self-grip retention. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the toolholder is clear of the workpiece before changing inserts. Inspect the insert pocket and seating surface for chips or debris prior to installation, as contamination can affect insert seating and groove accuracy. Follow the toolholder manufacturer's torque specifications for screw-retained configurations.
