Accupro ACC-GS012F Single Point Tool Bit 3/8 Inch Shank

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-GS012F 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 neutral-cutting GS-style body with a 3/8 inch shank width and 3/8 inch shank height. The micrograin carbide grade delivers fine grain consistency for tight tolerances and extended edge life in grooving applications. Groove width range runs from 0.012 inches minimum to 0.014 inches maximum, with a maximum depth of cut of 0.030 inches. This tool is suited for machinists and toolroom setups requiring precision narrow-groove work in steel, stainless, and non-ferrous materials.

The ACC-GS012F fits standard GS-series tool holders commonly used in production turning and manual lathe work. Its neutral cutting direction makes it suitable for straight plunge grooving where tool deflection must be minimized. The full-radius geometry at the cutting tip produces a clean groove profile, making it appropriate for undercut grooves, snap ring grooves, and parting operations on small-diameter workpieces. Machinists in job shops, tool rooms, and production environments will find this tool bit compatible with standard GS-style boring bar and tool bit holders available across major tooling platforms.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Secure the shank fully in the tool holder with appropriate set screws torqued per the holder manufacturer's specification. Ensure the machine spindle is powered down and the chuck is at rest before changing or indexing tool bits. Do not exceed the stated maximum depth of cut of 0.030 inches to avoid tip breakage or workpiece damage.
