Accupro ACC-LC437100 Single-point Tool Bit Left Hand

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-LC437100 is a left-hand single-point tool bit designed for turning, facing, and boring operations on metal lathes and turning centers. Built with a solid carbide tip, this tool bit delivers consistent cutting performance and edge retention across a wide range of workpiece materials including steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous alloys. The shank measures 7/16 inches in height and 7/16 inches in width, with an overall length of 6 inches. The solid carbide tip thickness is 0.100 inches. This style is used by machinists and tool-and-die professionals in production and job-shop environments.

This tool bit is suited for left-hand cutting operations on manual lathes and CNC turning equipment. The LC-style designation indicates a specific geometry intended for applications where the tool feeds from left to right relative to the workpiece. It is commonly installed in standard tool holders or turret posts that accept 7/16-inch square shank tooling. Machinists working on shaft turning, shoulder cutting, or external diameter finishing will find this geometry appropriate for those operations.

Key Features

• Solid carbide tip provides superior hardness and wear resistance compared to high-speed steel alternatives
• Left-hand cutting direction suits left-to-right feed operations on the lathe
• 7/16-inch square shank fits standard tool holders accepting that shank size
• 6-inch overall length provides sufficient clearance for most turret and tool post setups
• Tip thickness of 0.100 inches supports precise edge geometry for controlled material removal
• LC tool bit style for consistent, repeatable positioning in compatible holders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style single-point tool bit for use in manual and CNC lathes or turning centers equipped with tool holders accepting a 7/16-inch square shank.

Installation Notes

This tool bit is installed and serviced by qualified machinists or tool-room technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and all energy sources are locked out before inserting or adjusting tooling in the holder. Secure the shank firmly in the tool post or turret block using the appropriate set screws and verify overhang does not exceed recommended limits for the shank size. Inspect the carbide tip for chipping or cracking before each use, as damaged carbide can cause unpredictable cutting behavior.
