Accupro ACC-GS022002 Cut-off Grooving Tool Bit 3/8 Inch

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-GS022002 is a single point tool bit designed for cut-off and grooving operations on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. Built with a micrograin solid carbide tip, it delivers consistent edge retention and surface finish quality in demanding production environments. The neutral cutting direction makes it suitable for straight plunge grooving without lateral cutting bias. The shank measures 3/8 inches wide by 3/8 inches tall, fitting standard tool holders in that bore size. Groove width capability ranges from 0.022 to 0.024 inches, and maximum depth of cut is 0.09 inches, making this tool appropriate for narrow, precision groove applications in metal turning work.

This tool bit is suited for use in job shops and production machining facilities where consistent, repeatable groove profiles are required. It is commonly installed in turning operations involving steel, stainless, and non-ferrous alloys where micrograin carbide provides the hardness and thermal resistance needed to maintain tight tolerances. Machinists and CNC setup technicians working on shaft grooving, snap ring grooves, and parting operations will find this tool a direct-fit solution for GS-style tool holders.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide tip for extended tool life and sharp edge retention
• Neutral cutting direction supports straight plunge grooving applications
• 3/8 inch by 3/8 inch shank fits standard GS-style tool holders
• Groove width range of 0.022 to 0.024 inches for narrow, precise profiles
• Maximum depth of cut of 0.09 inches suits shallow grooving and parting work
• Minimum nose radius of 0.002 inches for tight corner geometry

Compatibility

Designed for use with GS-style tool holders accepting a 3/8 inch shank. This tool bit corresponds to industry standard number GS-022002 and is compatible with tool holding systems built to that specification.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician with the machine powered down and the spindle locked before tool insertion. The tool bit must be seated securely in the holder with set screws torqued to the holder manufacturer's specification to prevent movement under cutting loads. Confirm shank dimensions and holder bore compatibility before mounting. Follow all applicable shop safety procedures and machine tool manufacturer guidelines during setup and operation.
