Accupro ACC-CT120 Single Point Tool Bit Cut-off Grooving

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-CT120 is a CT-style single point tool bit designed for cut-off and grooving operations on manual and CNC lathes. It features a solid carbide tip brazed to a steel shank, delivering consistent edge retention and heat resistance in production turning environments. The shank measures 0.5 inches wide by 1 inch tall, with an overall length of 5 inches. The solid carbide tip measures 7/16 inches long, 3/16 inches thick, and 5/16 inches wide. Right-hand cutting geometry directs cutting forces toward the headstock for stable parting and grooving passes. Machinists and tool room technicians use this bit for repetitive cut-off work on ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

The ACC-CT120 is suited for shop-floor use on engine lathes, turret lathes, and manual toolroom machines where CT-style toolholders are in service. Its CT profile and industry standard number CT-120 make it a direct fit in CT-compatible toolholders. The right-hand cutting direction suits standard spindle rotation setups. It is appropriate for production shops, maintenance machining operations, and apprentice training environments where a reliable, repeatable parting tool is needed without indexable insert complexity.

Key Features

• Solid carbide tip for improved wear resistance and edge retention compared to high-speed steel
• CT-style shank profile matches CT-120 industry standard toolholder seats
• Right-hand cutting geometry for standard lathe spindle rotation
• 0.5 inch shank width by 1 inch shank height fits medium-duty toolpost and turret applications
• 5 inch overall length provides reach for standard tool overhang requirements
• 3/16 inch tip thickness allows narrow cut-off grooves to minimize material loss

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fit for CT-120 industry standard single point toolholders used on manual and CNC lathes requiring CT-style tool bits.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Before changing tooling, bring the spindle to a full stop and disengage the machine from power or engage the E-stop per shop lockout/tagout procedures. Seat the shank fully in the toolholder and secure all clamping screws evenly before taking a test cut. Verify tool height alignment to spindle centerline before initiating a parting or grooving pass to prevent tool deflection or chatter.
