Accupro ACC-LC375060 Cut-off Grooving Tool Bit 3/8 Inch

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-LC375060 is a single-point LC-style tool bit designed for cut-off and grooving operations on metal lathes and turning centers. The tip is solid carbide, delivering hardness and wear resistance suited for interrupted cuts and parting operations on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The shank measures 3/8 inch in both width and height, and the tool runs in a left-hand cutting direction. Overall length is 6 inches. Machinists and CNC lathe operators working in job shops, production turning, or maintenance environments install this tool bit in standard tool holders that accept LC-style inserts.

This tool bit fits typical single-point toolholding setups used in light to medium-duty turning applications. The LC style and 3/8 inch shank dimensions make it a common selection for bench lathes and smaller CNC turning centers where controlled parting and groove width consistency are required. The 0.060-inch tip width produces a narrow, precise cut, making it suitable for parting stock and cutting shallow grooves to tight tolerances. The solid carbide tip maintains edge integrity under the heat and pressure generated during parting operations.

Key Features

• LC-style single-point tool bit for cut-off and grooving applications
• Solid carbide tip for extended wear resistance and edge retention
• Left-hand cutting direction for specific toolholder orientation requirements
• 0.060-inch tip width for narrow, precise parting and groove cuts
• 3/8 inch square shank fits standard LC-style toolholders
• 6-inch overall length for adequate reach and rigidity in toolpost setups

Compatibility

Designed for use in toolholders accepting LC-style single-point tool bits with a 3/8 inch square shank. Industry standard number LC-375060 applies to this tool geometry.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or CNC lathe operator. Power down and lock out the lathe spindle before seating or adjusting the tool bit in the holder. Secure the shank firmly in the toolholder to prevent deflection during parting cuts, as tool bit movement during cut-off operations can cause breakage or workpiece damage. Verify tool centerline height before beginning cuts, as incorrect height is a leading cause of tip failure on parting and grooving tools.
