Accupro ACC-LC281080 Single Point Tool Bit 9/32 in Lh

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-LC281080 is a left-hand single point tool bit engineered for cut-off and grooving operations on manual and CNC lathes. Built to LC style standards, it features a solid carbide tip brazed to a steel shank, delivering hardness and wear resistance on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The shank measures 9/32 inch in both width and height, with an overall length of 6 inches. The tip measures 0.080 inches in both thickness and width, making it well suited for narrow-groove and parting work where dimensional precision is critical. Machinists and toolroom operators select this bit when a left-hand cutting direction is required by the part geometry or machine setup.

This tool bit is intended for use in lathe toolholders that accept LC-style single point bits with a 9/32 inch shank profile. It is appropriate for production turning, job shop work, and toolroom applications involving cut-off and external grooving. The left-hand cutting direction suits applications where the workpiece or machine setup dictates a right-to-left feed. Typical materials include steel, cast iron, aluminum, brass, and similar machinable metals. Industry standard number LC-281080 confirms interchangeability with toolholders and block holders sized to that designation.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and direct-fit tool bit for LC-style toolholders and block holders requiring a 9/32 inch shank, left-hand cut-off and grooving configuration, per industry standard LC-281080.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the lathe before seating or adjusting the tool bit in the holder. Ensure the shank is fully seated and the set screws are tightened securely before resuming cutting operations. Inspect the carbide tip for chipping or cracks prior to each use and do not use a damaged tip under cutting load.
