Accupro ACC-BT6 Box Turning Tool Bit 3/8 Inch Shank

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-BT6 is a single-point box turning tool bit designed for precision lathe and turning operations in metalworking applications. Manufactured to BT-6 industry standard, this tool bit features a solid micrograin carbide tip brazed to a 3/8-inch shank. The right-hand cutting direction and box turning geometry make it well suited for internal bore and box-style turning passes. Overall length is 2 inches, with a tip measuring 3/8 inches in length, 5/16 inches in width, and 3/16 inches in thickness. Maximum depth of cut is 5/8 inches. Machinists and toolroom professionals reaching for consistent carbide performance on production or repair work will recognize this as a standard-format bit built to tight tolerances.

The ACC-BT6 is used in turning centers, engine lathes, and manual or CNC-controlled lathe setups where box turning operations are required. It is suited for ferrous and non-ferrous metalcutting in both job shop and production environments. The micrograin carbide grade holds a sharp edge longer than standard carbide grades, making it appropriate for finishing passes and moderate-to-fine turning applications. Typical users include machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance technicians performing lathe work on shafts, sleeves, and bored components.

Key Features

• BT-6 industry standard geometry for box turning applications
• Solid micrograin carbide tip for extended edge retention and consistent finish quality
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard lathe setups
• 3/8-inch shank diameter fits common tool holders and turrets
• Maximum depth of cut of 5/8 inches supports both roughing and finishing passes
• Compact 2-inch overall length for use in close-clearance tooling setups

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or working tool for lathe setups accepting a 3/8-inch shank single-point tool bit conforming to BT-6 industry standard geometry.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom personnel. The lathe or turning center must be powered down and the spindle brought to a full stop before mounting or removing tool bits. Secure the shank firmly in the tool holder or turret using the appropriate set screws and torque to the machine manufacturer's specifications. Inspect the carbide tip for chipping or wear before each use and replace the bit if tip integrity is compromised.
