Accupro ACC-LC281060 Single Point Tool Bit 9/32 in Lh

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-LC281060 is a left-hand, single point tool bit designed for cut-off and grooving operations on manual and CNC lathes. Built to LC style standards, this tool bit features a solid carbide tip brazed to a steel shank, delivering the hardness and wear resistance required for consistent performance on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The shank measures 9/32 inches wide by 9/32 inches high, with an overall length of 6 inches. The tip width and tip thickness are each 0.060 inches, making it well suited for narrow grooving and parting work. Machinists and toolroom professionals install this bit in standard lantern-style or block tool holders on engine lathes and turret lathes.

This tool bit is used in machine shop environments for cut-off and grooving applications where a left-hand cutting direction is required. The LC style designation conforms to industry standard number LC-281060, allowing direct cross-reference to equivalent tooling in that standard family. It is appropriate for production and job-shop turning operations on smaller-diameter workpieces where a 9/32-inch shank holder is in use. The solid carbide tip maintains a sharp cutting edge longer than high-speed steel alternatives, reducing the frequency of regrinding during high-volume runs.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard tooling option for lathe tool holders accepting a 9/32 inch square shank, per LC style specifications. Compatible equipment and holder models were not specified in the available product data; verify shank dimensions and tool holder clearance before ordering.

Installation Notes

This tool bit is installed by a machinist or toolroom technician into a compatible lathe tool holder. Ensure the lathe spindle is fully stopped and the machine is locked out before changing or seating tooling. Set the tool bit on center height using shims as required by the work and holder setup. Inspect the carbide tip for cracks or chips before use, as carbide is brittle and should not be subjected to heavy interrupted cuts beyond its rated application.
