Accupro ACC-GR096F Cut-off Grooving Tool Bit Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-GR096F is a single point tool bit designed for cut-off and grooving operations on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. It features a micrograin solid carbide tip brazed to a steel shank, providing the fine grain structure and edge retention needed for clean, precise groove profiles. The shank measures 3/8 inch wide and 3/4 inch tall, fitting standard lathe tool holders in that size range. Cutting direction is right hand. Maximum groove width is 0.098 inch and maximum depth of cut is 0.300 inch, making this bit well suited for narrow grooving and parting work where dimensional accuracy is critical. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals are the primary installers and users.

This tool bit is used in metalworking applications where narrow grooves, undercuts, or parting cuts are required. It performs in both production and job-shop environments on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The full-radius tip geometry supports consistent groove floor finish. Typical applications include O-ring groove cutting, snap ring groove cutting, and general parting operations on bar stock and turned parts. The GR style designation and industry standard number GR-096F identify this bit within the standard grooving tool bit family.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists following standard lathe tooling setup procedures. The machine spindle must be fully stopped and locked out before seating or adjusting the tool bit in the holder. Tool bit overhang should be minimized to reduce chatter and deflection. Confirm tool holder set screw torque per the holder manufacturer specification before beginning the cut.
