Accupro ACC-GS060F Single Point Tool Bit 3/8 Inch Shank

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-GS060F is a single point tool bit designed for cut-off and grooving operations on lathes and turning centers. Built with a micrograin solid carbide tip, it delivers consistent edge integrity and wear resistance during interrupted and continuous grooving cuts. The neutral cutting direction makes it suitable for both left-hand and right-hand setups without repositioning. With a 3/8 inch shank width and 3/8 inch shank height, this tool bit fits standard GS-style tool holders commonly found in production and job shop environments. Machinists and CNC lathe operators use this bit for precision grooving where groove width and depth of cut tolerances are critical.

The ACC-GS060F is applied in ferrous and non-ferrous turning applications where a full-radius grooving profile is required. It handles groove widths from 0.060 inches to 0.062 inches with a maximum depth of cut of 0.21 inches. This range suits common snap ring groove, O-ring groove, and parting operations on small- to medium-diameter workpieces. The GS tool bit style is a recognized industry standard format, making this part a direct fit for compatible GS-style holders already in use on the shop floor.

Key Features

• Full radius grooving profile suited for O-ring and snap ring groove applications
• Neutral cutting direction allows flexible setup in right-hand or left-hand tool positions
• Minimum groove width of 0.060 inches and maximum groove width of 0.062 inches for tight tolerance work
• Maximum depth of cut of 0.21 inches supports a range of grooving depths in one pass
• 3/8 inch square shank fits standard GS-style tool holders without modification

Compatibility

Designed for use in GS-style single point tool bit holders with a 3/8 inch shank opening. Industry standard number GS-060F identifies cross-compatible holders and tool blocks from other manufacturers that accept this shank profile.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC setup technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before inserting or removing any tool bit. Ensure the tool bit is seated fully and clamped to the torque specification of the tool holder manufacturer before running. Inspect the carbide tip for chipping or wear before each use, as a damaged edge on a grooving bit can cause workpiece damage or tool breakage.
