Accupro ACC-GR018F Grooving Tool Bit 3/8 in Carbide Rh

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-GR018F is a right-hand, single-point cut-off and grooving tool bit designed for precision grooving operations on a lathe or turning center. Built with a micrograin solid carbide tip, it delivers consistent cutting performance and extended edge life in demanding machining environments. The shank measures 3/8 inches wide and 3/4 inches tall, providing rigid support during interrupted and continuous groove cuts. With a maximum groove width of 0.020 inches and a maximum depth of cut of 0.060 inches, this tool bit suits fine-detail grooving work where tight tolerances and clean groove profiles are required. Machinists and CNC operators working in job shops, tool rooms, and production environments are the primary users.

This tool bit is suited for cut-off and grooving applications on ferrous and non-ferrous materials where a full-radius groove profile is needed. It performs well in both manual and CNC turning applications where a compact shank size is appropriate for the toolholder being used. The GR style and right-hand cutting direction make it compatible with standard GR-series toolholders used in conventional and CNC lathes. Industry standard number GR-018F identifies this insert style for cross-reference and replacement sourcing.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide tip for extended wear resistance and sharp edge retention
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard lathe setups
• Full radius geometry produces clean, consistent groove profiles
• Maximum groove width of 0.020 inches with minimum groove width of 0.018 inches for precise narrow-groove work
• Maximum depth of cut of 0.060 inches suitable for shallow grooving and parting operations
• GR tool bit style for use with compatible GR-series toolholders

Compatibility

Designed for use with GR-series single-point toolholders that accept a 3/8 inch wide by 3/4 inch tall shank. Industry standard number GR-018F can be used for cross-referencing compatible holders and replacement tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the toolholder manufacturer's clamping and torque procedures. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before mounting or removing the tool bit. Verify shank seating and overhang length meet the requirements of the specific toolholder before initiating a cut. Follow shop safety protocols and applicable OSHA machining standards when operating cutting tools at speed.
