Accupro ACC-BT10 Single Point Tool Bit Box Turning

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-BT10 is a single point tool bit designed for box turning operations on conventional and CNC lathes. It features a micrograin solid carbide tip brazed to a steel shank, delivering consistent edge retention and surface finish on a wide range of workpiece materials. The right-hand cutting direction makes it compatible with standard spindle rotation in most turning setups. With a 5/8 inch shank and a compact 3 inch overall length, this tool bit fits standard tool holders and turrets commonly found in production and job-shop environments. It is sized for machinists and toolroom professionals who require reliable, repeatable performance on internal and external box turning cuts.

The ACC-BT10 is suited for turning applications in metalworking environments including production shops, maintenance machining, and precision toolrooms. Box turning tool bits in this style are typically used when cutting square or rectangular profiles, shoulders, and stepped features on a workpiece. The micrograin carbide grade supports use on ferrous metals, cast iron, and harder non-ferrous alloys where a finer grain structure improves tip integrity at moderate to high cutting speeds. This tool bit follows Industry Standard Number BT-10, making it a direct-fit replacement for other BT-10 specified tooling.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or specification-grade tool bit for applications requiring an Industry Standard BT-10 single point box turning bit with a 5/8 inch shank and right-hand cutting direction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Always power down and lock out the lathe before seating or adjusting the tool bit in the holder. Ensure the tool bit shank is fully supported in the holder and that set screws are tightened to the holder manufacturer's specification. Inspect the carbide tip for chipping or cratering before each use and replace if edge integrity is compromised.
