Accupro ACC-CT140 Single Point Tool Bit Carbide Rh Cut-off

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-CT140 is a solid carbide tipped single point tool bit designed for cut-off and grooving operations on metal lathes and turning centers. The bit features a right-hand cutting direction and a CT-style profile, conforming to industry standard number CT-140. With a 0.75-inch shank width and 1.5-inch shank height, this tool bit fits standard lathe toolpost holders sized for that shank envelope. The overall length is 6 inches. The solid carbide tip delivers hardness and wear resistance suitable for ferrous and non-ferrous stock, making it a reliable choice for machinists running production or toolroom work.

The ACC-CT140 is suited for job shop and production machining environments where cut-off and grooving are routine operations. It is appropriate for use on manual engine lathes and CNC turning centers. The CT tool bit style is a common format in toolroom and production settings, fitting toolpost holders designed for the CT standard. Machinists performing parting, external grooving, and face grooving on bar stock or chucked workpieces will find this bit fits standard workflows without modification.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the lathe manufacturer's toolpost setup procedures. Ensure the machine is fully powered down and the spindle is locked before seating or repositioning any tool bit. Secure all toolpost clamping bolts to the torque specifications listed in your toolpost manufacturer's documentation. Confirm correct tool height alignment to the workpiece centerline before beginning any cut.
